Netgear R7000 and OpenVPN for Android App
Hi, since last OpenVPN for Android App update (v.0.6.73) downloadable at the following link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn OpenSSL version was upgraded to 1.1 and...
Thanks everyone for feedback so far. Attached is version 1.0.1. I fixed some typos, added a suggestion to clean up your tftp folder when you're done, and made a note about the OpenVPN version that's most compatible with the document.
Some users looking to work through this doc may find that they can avoid Step 1 by visiting this hidden page:
If the debug page loads and there is an "Enable Telnet" option then you got lucky. Note that either the debug page or the option to "Enable Telnet" may not exist on your device or firmware version. Remember to check that this option is disabled after you're finished because having telnet enabled is a security risk.
That's interesting. As a status update, I have spent many hours this week already writing a guide, I have to fit it in around work/life. I hope to have something up here in the next few days.
I submitted an email support request to Netgear yesterday asking when they plan to release a new firmware with an updated OpenVPN server build that uses SHA256 instead of MD5 signing algorithm, but I've yet to receive any useful info.
It is hard for me to understand why it is so difficult to change the encryption method?
It seems all VPN servers except NG OpenVPN have different options for encryption.
