<![CDATA[OpenVPN connected users have date from 1970!]]>Hello,

When users connect to OpenVPN, they get a date of 1970!

How can I correct this?

Best regards

I found this: every client that tries to connect using OpenVPN's client, but not the community one, every time the get a date of 1970 and even connected, they cannot access anything.

Using the Community client,they connect fine (other glitches, but no time problems).

If your system clock is correct the client timestamps should be correct as well.

Unless perhaps the clock was wrong when they connected at first.

Yes the click is fine.
