I worked with Netgear tech support a few weeks ago on this. The problem is solved. Apparently, the configuration file was bad on the particular revision of Orbi firmware I was using.

I have encountered the same issue.

Orbi firmware is V2.5.1.16, but still experiencing the same issue on Windows 10.

I have downloaded a new configuration zip folder for Windows under “OpenVPN configuration package download”, but still not working.

Anyone know what to do please?

My firmware is 2.5.1.8. They may have broken the configuration file again. Did you have the issue and then upgraded to the firmware version you are currently on? If so, try getting a new copy of the OpenVPN configuration file.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I have only just stated using VPN after the firmware upgrade. So won’t be able to tell if it will work ok the 2.5.1.8 version.

Is there a way I can alert Netgear so they look at it again?

Thank you again.

Hello,
Just wondering if people are getting the same error.
The error message is:
“No server certificate verification method has been enabled.”
