OpenVPN certificate fix: Only 2 months left

JamesGL

 

Following your answer here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/OpenVPN-update-breaks-R7000-and-probably-other-routers-VPN/td-p/1421868

 

We now have only 2 months left. I cannot afford having my OpenVPN broken and waiting months for Netgear to fix it. Not updating the clients is a bad answer for security reasons obviously.

 

1- are there wifi routers that are confirmed as of now to support the new certificate restrictions of OpenVPN client ?

2- can Netgear communicate on devices that will get the support update before April 30 ?

 

At least we know if we need to change device. Two months is a short term to look and order for alternative solutions if Netgear is not going to fix it

 

Best regards
