OpenVPN Certificate Failed Error on Archer A7V5
OpenVPN Certificate Failed Error on Archer A7V5
2020-10-22 14:36:37
Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.11 Build 20190810 rel.50990(5553)

Hi,

 

I setup one A7 with OpenVPN and it worked flawlessly.

I am trying to do it the exact same way on the exact same router and when trying to connect on the client (I have tested on ios, android & windows) I get the following error: 

 

There was an error attempting to connect to the selected server.

 

Error message: OpenSSLContext:SSL:read_cleartext: BIO_read failed, cap-2576 status--1: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

 

 

I have generated the certificate several times no with no luck. I do make a change to the "remote" line of the config file to reflect the public IP, which I also had to do at the working location and had no problem. 

 

Any assistance/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Rather than the IP address, have you tried to use the DDNS address? (Advanced > Network > Dynamic DNS)

 

If I understand it right, do you have two A7's? If so, change the service port on the second A7, both using the same exact port numbers would not work if both are behind the same router.

@Tony 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I haven't tried using DNS as I have a static IP from my ISP. But I will try as a step in troubleshooting.

 

And I am using different service ports on the different routers. 

 

I'll keep you updated. Thanks again.

HI,

 

I tried the DDNS solution with the same error. This is the log file from my ios client:

@Hairoun 

 

Thank you for the info.

 

With respect to the firmware, the US region routers have the 200721 build. If you visit our official website and look at available firmware is there a newer firmware? If so, please update it and reconfigure the router to test again. 

 

If the issue still happens, please let me know.

@Tony Hi,

 

Thanks for your continued assistance.

 

I have updated the firmware with the same problem.

 

 

Very strange.
