      Hello,

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

      How can I correct this?

      Best regards

        Is your clock on the firewall correct? (Check the dashboard)

            The 1970 time usually means that a timestamp is "0" or near "0" (Adjusted for the time zone). 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.

              Thank you.

              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).

              Best regards

                So that time must really mean that they aren't connected at all (connected time is null/zero…) if I can reproduce that sometime I'll try to code around it.
