R6700v3 OpenVPN not working
Can not get OpenVPN to work... I have followed the instructions below. see attached log file... something about "TLS error: Unsupported protocol."?? log Regards Holmis
The issue is due to server TLS level is 1.0 and it is considered insecure. OpenVPN client calls it insecure mode.
Go to settings -> advanced settings -> choose "Insecure" and then retry connection. We will not be able to do much without netgear providing a firmware update to switch OpenVPN server settings to use TLS 1.3 or above.
Changing UI settings will not solve the problem as suggested by prior post.
Thank for the answer, but is it in the OpenVPN client I need to change or in the router?
I cant find any "Insecure" setting in my client or do you recommend a version of the client?
I use OpenVPN GUI or is there another better OpenVPN client?
regards

Repeat question: What type of device are you running the client application on? Android, Windows, ??
I cannot see an inserted image until a moderator approves it. If you attach an image, I can see it as soon as it is posted.
can you post your profile trying to import? please blank out your domain name or other private information. The option file contains error without looking if i have to guess
proto option has some invalid characters or some information. Proto can only be TCP or UDP please check that. For most VPN configuration you need to have this set to UDP so can tolerate some errors.
