I installed the latest firmware for R6700 v1, downloaded and installed the scripts and files for Windows PC. Took awhile to search and understand an error: "TAP-Windows adapter 'NETGEAR-VPN' not found". The solution is to be sure to rename the Windows TAP adapter to "NETGEAR-VPN" inside Control Panel, otherwise the login will fail because OpenVPN cannot find the TAP adapter. Works great so far, glad to have the added measure of security. Will try to install the files for iOS next for iPhone X.

Open clientx.ovpn in Notepad and remove the line "dev-node NETGEAR-VPN" or comment it out by putting a semi-colon in front of it ";dev-node NETGEAR-VPN" and you won't have to name the adapter.
Yes! Thank you for the word of advisement, I appreciate it. I had also downloaded the client configuation and key files to iPhone X, use the latest OpenVPN app for iPhone (and accept the new configuration and key files on the app), works great on iPhone X.
Re: MD5-Signed Certificate Warning with OpenVPN R7000P
So the R7000P had a hot fix beta firmware available 1.3.2.34, but it has been pulled when they updated the firmware to 1.3.1.44 and the 1.3.1.44 does not support SHA256, what up with that?

Hah! Turns out the new R7000P firmware does have the SHA256 support. The release notes just don't mention it.
Yes, and since they fail to mention it. People are going to wonder why their clients no longer connect to the VPN since they have to re-acqurie the new certs for each device.
