My router openVPN is v2.4.3. I guess I can use the latest client on my computer to work with it.

Generally install the latest version, although on Linux you can probably stick to whichever version your package manager provides. Different versions shouldn't be an issue, but you could run into crypto library (OpenSSL) compatibility issues if the age gap is several years. To find the OpenVPN version on your router, open the command line and run "openvpn --version". Some other commands you may want to run on both client and router are "openvpn --show-tls" and "openvpn --show-ciphers" to check that they have some compatible choices between them. While I always recommend running up to date software, tread carefully if upgrading your router firmware. Read documentation and read it again, because things will go wrong if you use the wrong file, do things in the wrong order, the magic numbers are off by one or the wireless antennas are not aligned with the horns of the unicorn standing on the north pole of Mars. > thanks, > > James /Magnus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
