      Hi,

      every time I connect to my pfsense server I got this message

      WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.  See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.
      

      My knowledge about OpenVPN isn't really good but I didn't found a possibility in pfsense Cert Manager to get this working:

      You can build your server certificates with the build-key-server script (see the easy-rsa documentation for more info). This will designate the certificate as a server-only certificate by setting the right attributes. Now add the following line to your client configuration:
      
      remote-cert-tls server
      
      

      Did I miss something in the Cert Manager config options or isn't there a possibility in there till now ?

        I have looked into that, but building keys that way requires some extra openssl.cnf mojo that is tricky to work out when trying to use PHP's OpenSSL functions like we do.

          Hi jimp,

          thanks for feedback. Just wanted to be sure that I didn't miss anything in the pfsense config.
