NightHawk R8000 & OpenVPN 2.4.8-I602
Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2020 11:49 am
I know this is a rather old subject, however, I can't find a solution that works. As you may be able to tell Certs are just not up my alley. I've tied EasyRSA, but to me it's not that easy, download easy RSA and then OpenSSL plus make all these complex config changes. I'm hoping for a much easier way to get the VPN working again, maybe just maybe I've missed the easy step by step pages. Below is what I posted on the Netgear page.
After installing OpenVPN 2.4.8 I can no longer connect. When trying to connect I receive the following error in the client log file:
WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.
Going to that page didn't actually tell me much besides putting: remote-cert-tls server in my ovpn file. That solved the issue above, but now I see: OpenSSL: error:140AB18ESmiley FrustratedSL routinesSmiley FrustratedSL_CTX_use_certificate:ca md too weak
Every page I've found says upgrade your NightHawk Firmware to the latest and that will fix the signing issue. My current Firmware 1.0.4.46_10.1.63, but no such luck fixing the problem.
Crossing my fingers someone has the answers.
thanks in advance.
