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.
I can confirm that step 1 can be avoided (R8500) by going to http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm and select "Enable Telnet "
Can anyone else confirm that telnet can be enabled this way ?
NG_Guru: I'm open to writing in some shortcuts as long as it doesn't complicate the flow. I do know the magic packet has been around for years on all models/firmwares.
I'd love to hear from anyone who managed to replace their keys successfully so I know I didn't write in any major errors. I found a couple of insignificant typos I'll fix later in a 1.0.1 version.
Cheers, and good luck.

Very nice instructions!
I was able to update my NightHawk R8500 using these instructions.
For me the hardest part would have been creating the keys. Your directions were right on!
I verified old keys are dead and new keys are working.
My R8500 is hardware Ver1 and Firmware Version V1.0.2.116
