[Solved] Android OpenVPN & ASUS RT-AC68U VP Server TLS 1.2

Post by infantryman » Sat Mar 19, 2016 5:30 pm

Good day,

There is an issue with my setup. If I am trying to establish a tunnel using TLS 1.1 or 1.2, it won't work and I'll get this error: OpenVPN Server TLS version is too low. If I am using TLS 1.0, it works fine. The VPN client is a Galaxy Tab A (Android with last firmware update)) with OpenVPN Connect 1.1.16. The VPN server is a ASUS RT-AC-68U (with last firmware update). From the server, there is no way to select TLS 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2. From the client, you can choose between those.

Any idea?


Thank you!

Does your router have a field where you can insert custom options ?

See --tls-version-min in The Manual v23x

You could try that in the field:

Code: Select all

tls-version-min 1.2

This is what I've got with ''tls-version-min 1.2'':

OpenVPN server daemon failed to start.
Please check your device environment or contents on the Advanced Setting page.


Thanks again for your help!

Or maybe for compatibility

Code: Select all

tls-version-min 1.2 or-highest
on both sides.

Check your server log for the version of openvpn installed.

I have received reply from my next level of support team that TLS 1.1/1.2 is not yet supported. However they will release a firmware (ETA July, 2016) to include TLS v1.1 and v1.2.
