[Bug Fix] Updates the OpenVPN certificate from MD5 to SHA-256.

 

In addition to the Entrust Certificate for https, it would be helpful if someone verifies whether this change in OpenVPN means that new Windows/Mac/Phone ovpn files need to be generated and deployed to devices that use VPN.  This could be sort of a "Catch 22".  i.e. VPN into the Orbi to update firmware, and after the firmware update the VPN no longer works until a new ovpn file is installed, which cannot be downloaded because VPN no longer works.
