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.
NG_Guru I went to investigate http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm . I found that:
* It did not exist on R7000 FW versions 1.7.x.
* It does exist on the latest FW version, 1.9.26, but the code to display and send the telnet option to the router have been commented out in debug.htm, so it's not user accessible. This FW is less than a month old.
Therefore I think this option is very likely to be dependent on which model you have and which firmware version you are using. Clearly the page doesn't always exist, and if it does exist NG may be disabling that option.
