      Hi@all,

      I have an openvpn server here with a simple configuration:

      And in the client export:

      For Windows and Linux clients, I download the bundle and unpack it on the client.

      Under Windows I copy the files into the config directory, under Linux I import the ovpn file. After that, the connection works.

      Now I have connected a MacOS client for the first time. I have downloaded the client for this purpose:

      https://openvpn.net/client-connect-vpn-for-mac-os/

      Installed and imported the ovpn file. The connection also works. I can reach all hosts behind the gateway. A warning appears every time I connect:

      89a2fbd8-8814-4d57-a07e-f2b52a39e9e9-image.png

      I have the files in the bundle:

      -rw-r--r-- 1 s.gehr domain users 1453 Mär  7 11:37 gate01-UDP4-1194-ca.crt
      -rw-r--r-- 1 s.gehr domain users  316 Mär  7 11:37 gate01-UDP4-1194.ovpn
      -rw-r--r-- 1 s.gehr domain users  636 Mär  7 11:37 gate01-UDP4-1194-tls.key
      

      It doesn't seem to be one of those. What kind of certificate does the client need to make the warning disappear?

      with best
