Upgrade from 2.3.14 to 2.4.1 client.

Post by fred1s2 » Sat Apr 22, 2017 10:13 am

Hi, I recently updated my server software to 2.4.1.
This is the output of openvpn --version:

Code: Select all

OpenVPN 2.4.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Mar 22 2017
library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.1t  3 May 2016, LZO 2.08
However since most 2.3.14 clients still worked, I decided to hold back on the client upgrades. However, I tried to upgrade the client for one of my personal computers and the client would not connect. I tried following the warnings it returned about depreciated ns-cert-type thinking that was the issue however it still would not connect so I am forced to continue using 2.3.14.
Here is my client config (note: I have not changed my server config since 2.3.14):
Client Config
client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote REMOVED 443;
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
mute-replay-warnings
ns-cert-type server
verb 5
comp-lzo

<cert>

</cert>
<key>
