OpenVPN not working

Fri Mar 15, 2024 3:28 pm

Hello world!!!

I have a massive problem getting OpenVPN to work as expected.
Spent three days with different tutorials for setting up OVPN an MT, but I
always get :
error=self signed certificate in certificate chain
in my OpenVPN-Client.

Does anyone know a tutorial that will help setting up a OpenVPN connection?

ROS is 7.14.1
OpenVPN is 2.5.9

TIA

Have you considered VPN that is better supported by MT such as wireguard??

Of course, but I have 50 social education workers using OVPN on an old MikTik, which seems to
come to the end of its life.
Best would be to copy certificates from old to new router, but this seems to
be unpossible.
To avoid having these 50 very special persons coming for me to install wireguard on their
PCs and Macs, I prefer to keep it "simple" and just offer a new .ovpn-file.

Current router worked fine and, still, does. But showing some strange behaviour in other places.
Setting up OVPN like on the old one (ROS 6.49.x) does not work.

Yes, but one cannot hang onto betamax forever..............
Heck even my mother in law, is sticking to CABLE TV vice streaming lets say over my appletv.......
Guess what, she upgraded her TV service and they are using android TV boxes LOL.

Shouldn't be a v7.x vs. v6.x issue, as there are reports of Openvpn working fine at least in 7.12.1:

Maybe something in 7.14?
