MD5-Signed Certificate Warning with OpenVPN on iOS
As of version 1.2.8 of the OpenVPN app on iOS, OpenVPN issues the following warning: > WARN TLS: received certificate signed with MD5. > Please inform your admin to upgrade to a > stronger algori...
FYI, I documented the steps to required to replace the certificates here. Unfortunately it the steps are written for users of Windows, but it also uses mostly cross-platform OpenSource tools and explains what's going on so I think it should be pretty translatable if you don't have access to any Windows boxes.
Just posting this so you have at least one go-forward path.

The server is fine it just needs new certificates.
...when leaving alone the outdated OpenSSL used, the also outdated OpenVPN server, probably yes. And this might require change some OpenVPN config controls, too.
Well, I can say I know of some very not good things in there, but to fix the connection issue, yes, just new certs.
- Yes. I just read about this issue (md5 signature algorithm support) in the help section of my iOS app . Anyone that hasn’t read that should do so because it describes the issue at length and very well. Thanks
Received an email from Netgear security: We've improved your security. Download the latest firmware to stay up-to-date. Use the Nighthawk App (formerly NETGEAR Up) to update your firmware.
No new firmware for the R7000. Fingers crossed.
To prepare for a VPN meltdown on may 1st, I installed PiVPN on an old Pi3. Peace of cake.
This was a joke right? Netgear sent me an email to say there is a new firmware when all it was is just to get me to install their stupid iOS Nighthawk app. There is no new firmware yet for R6900.
