[Updated 2019] OpenVPN Installation. Windows Client/Linux Server
ANOTHER SECURITY CHANGE OCCURRED WITH OPENVPN 2.4 AFTER THIS VIDEO WAS MADE.
At 9:50 an edit is made to the ssl config file to change md5 to sha512. Just above that line you should see:
default_crl_days= 30
change this so it reads
default_crl_days= 3650
If this is not done when using OpenVPN 2.4 your VPN will stop accepting connections 30 days later.
