      Hello,

      I understand that with pfSense 2.7.1 SHA1 certificates are no longer supported for OpenVPN.

      However the list of "Hash algorithms removed from OpenVPN" does NOT include SHA1.

      So does this mean SHA1 is still usable as auth digest algorithm for the time being?

        That is correct. It is still OK (though not great) to use as an auth digest algorithm for now, that's a bit different context than when it gets used on a certificate.
