MD5-Signed Certificate Warning with OpenVPN on iOS
As of version 1.2.8 of the OpenVPN app on iOS, OpenVPN issues the following warning: > WARN TLS: received certificate signed with MD5. > Please inform your admin to upgrade to a > stronger algorithm. Support for MD5 will be > dropped at end of Apr 2018 The warning appears as a modal dialog that interrupts use of the device. If the device is unlocked after a short period of time with the VPN connected, there will typically be multiple modal dialogs. This is an extremely frustrating experience. There appears to be no way to disable this warning and nothing router owners can do. A similar issue arose earlier for Android users (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Netgear-R7000-and-OpenVPN-for-Android-App/m-p/1310857). It is still unresolved at the time of writing. Netgear needs to issue a firmware update that changes the certificate used for OpenVPN.Solved37KViews4likes108Comments
NetGet NightHawk X6 AC3200 R8000 - OpenVPN - MD5
Good night, I have a NetGear NightHawk X6 AC3200 R8000 with the firmware 1.0.4.12 installed, the lastest, and I can confirm that no change has been made to the VPN certificate, even though this was known at least since January 2018 when a NetGear Moderator indicated that NetGear was going to support the new certificate before OpenVPN stops supporting the MD5 certificate (April 2018). Here is the post I refer to: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R8300-Support-for-MD5-Certificates-with-Built-In-VPN/m-p/1496268#M81267 I insist to NetGear to solve this problem in the following days and fulfil with their word. This is a complete lack of respect to their clients and users, and I would not stand at all this situation. If necesary, I will take al necesary means to make sure that this problem is finaly resolved. Thanks in advance. Yours sincerely, Buzzetti MartínSolved3.9KViews1like2CommentsNighthawk r7500 vpn setup
I'm new to VPN but learn quickly. I'm trying to setup VPN on my router for a layer of security for my home. I am getting error messeges with openVPN. Following the instructions on the router, many forums, and the OpenVPN resources, I am not able to get this working. I receive this error "warning: no server certificate verification method has been enabled. see http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info." can someone please assist? Perhaps have a walk through other than what's just on the router? Thank you in advance.Solved25KViews0likes10CommentsNighthawk X6 R8000 - iPhone cannot connect to home network over OpenVPN
Hi, all, I managed to get my iPhone (6S, iOS 10.3.2) connected to my home VPN on my Nighthawk X6 R8000 using the stock firmware version 1.0.3.46_1.1.32, and I am able to connect to the router setup page at http://192.168.1.1, but I cannot access any of the web servers that I have running on the same subnet (192.168.1.x). I've tried both web browser and SSH (and ping requests come back timed out). The iPhone was provisioned an IP in the 192.168.254.x subnet...not sure if this is causing the problems. The phone is connecting via LTE, not another WiFi network to avoid router clashes. I have made sure that the VPN advanced config has client access set for "all sites on the internet and home network," and I tried changing the LAN subnet mask to 255.255.0.0, but to no effect so I subsequently changed it back to 255.255.255.0 as per the default). Does anyone have any ideas why I can't get a route to any other systems on the network? Thanks in advance. DavidSolved5.2KViews0likes3CommentsR7000 Can't connect to OpenVPN, Firmware 1.0.4.30
Not sure why, but the drop down does not have my model # which is R7000 not R6900. I have been thoure the OpenVPN setup instrutions to use OpenVPN on the R7000 multipe times. It seems really straight forward..... However, I can't connect. Firmware is latest as of 4/7/2016 (1.0.4.30), and I have tried rebooting the router. Final messare in the log is: MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1460134043,WAIT,,, Congig and Logfile below. Any guidance would be very appreciated!
