      Hi, I am with a VPN providor that uses ECC with Secp256k elliptic curve encryption, this used to work fine, but after the 2.7 upgraded i could not make a connection anymore, with the error shown below. Working with my VPN provider they mentioned they have encountered this before and its a PFSense issue, as standlone OpenVPN works correctly. Before I raise a ticket want to see if anyone else has encountered this error?

      Thanks

          Hi, I have updated the VPN CA and TLS certificates, if that what you meant? Sorry I am a beginner with VPN related stuff, still learning how it all works, thanks!
