OpenVPN : Certificate is not intended for server use

[sulci]

Hey Everyone!

I have self signed certs for vpn connections, and after upgrading from 18.7.10 to 19.1.4 the vpn connection stopped working, and when i try to update the config it says : "The following input errors were detected: certificate is not intended for server use". Before the upgrade i used these certs. Could you tell me what changed, and how should i fix that problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi sulci,

Don't know if you have already solved this on your own, but, nothing obvious has changed according creating certificates and the config.
Well, there have been changes, but, they should not have hit you if your VPN was setup correct in the first place  no pun intended.
Last week I needed a tunnel for my new Android phone, I exported the client file from OPNsense, uploaded the file to the phone and I was in business. It had been a while since I used the server, at least from 18.7, but everything works as expected without having to 'tweak' any part on the server side  ;-)
Oh since you didn't mention, I'm talking OpenVPN....

Check your chain again, or even create a new one following the wiki and try again.
