Hi, the release notes for 23.7 say "The new OpenVPN instances pages and API create an independent set of instances more closely following the upstream documentation of OpenVPN. Legacy client/server settings cannot be managed from the API and are not migrated, but will continue to work independently."
The text is ambiguous to me, it says that legacy clients (which I take to read as my OpenVPN clients set up in 23.1.11) will not be migrated but then it goes on to say they they will continue to work. How will they continue to work if not migrated and, if they do, how would they be managed?
In either case, what is the recommended way to transfer existing OpenVPN clients to 23.7? Do we have to delete the existing client definitions before upgrading and then recreate them in the new system?
Thank you.
Nothing changes for existing servers/clients. "Instances" are new and API enabled. There is no migration path from servers/clients to instances. It's a manual process.
Cheers,
Franco
OpenVPN is no longer passing traffic for me since the upgrade. Just enabled the server for the first time since the upgrade and while I am able to connect, I am unable to view any websites. They all just time out. Tried on my Android phone as well as a Chromebook. Both with the same result. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!
Update: All working perfectly again. For some reason the OpenVPN interface was disabled. As soon as I enabled the interface...BOOM...all good again :).
