    Hello,

    The bundle exported by the package openvpn-client-export cannot be used with the new versions of Openvpn client.
    (deprecated cipher mentioned)

    And it seems there is a new version of this package, but I cannot find it.

    I have to downgrade to an older openvpn client to continue using the bundles for connection.

    How can I be smarter of this issue?

    Thanks

    gcalliet

      This will probably help : read the very first pinned post here Home > pfSense® Software > OpenVPN

      If you use the latest pfSense version, CE 2.7.0. or pfSense 23.05.1, then this one :

      will be the latest.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        Also, even if your client is up-to-date, if your certs use a weak hash like SHA1, then builds of OpenVPN based on OpenSSL 3 will refuse those certificates as well.

        Nothing the client or server can do about that, you have to issue new certificates that don't use weak hashes.

        If it's the encryption on the PKCS#12 bundle that isn't being read by the OS, you can always install the client manually and then export an inline configuration with the certs inside rather than using PKCS#12, or you can export a PKCS#12 bundle separately from the certificate manager using a higher level of encryption.

        Any version of the export package newer than 1.9 should be capable of exporting a stronger PKCS#12 bundle directly in the export package:
