Hello!
After installing and configuring openvpn server by using this script
https://github.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install
Can not connect via openvpn client because of an error

Code: [Select]
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in client.ovpn:13: tls-version-min (2.3.2)
File Contents client.ovpn

Code: [Select]

TLS version

OpenVPN uses TLS 1.0 by default, which is nearly 20 years old.

With tls-version-min 1.2 we use at least TLS 1.2, which the best protocol available currently. I could have used tls-version-min highest but this does not ensure we use TLS 1.2 which is the only secure protocol available.

OpenVPN documentation for tls-version-min

TLS 1.2 is only supported since OpenVPN 2.3.3. This is one of the reasons of the script uses third-party repositories, because some distributions have an older version of OpenVPN.

So my version openvpn does not support TLS 1.2 ? How to upgrade?

Hi,

This is not openvpn support forum, but pls check https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos. And If i remember well you will need to use 1 and not 1.2 (didn't try on up-line version) and if you install last version you will need to set ciphers as well, but check and keep us posted.

Strange. If you choose:
Quote
release/2.3: OpenvPN 2.3 releases
trusty (Ubuntu 14.04)
it is set openvpn 2.3.14 and everything works. Ie there is no error when connecting.

If you select
Quote
release/2.4: OpenVPN 2.4 releases, including alphas/betas/RCs
trusty (Ubuntu 14.04)
Also it works.

What you have in mind?
I am from Russia and my english = Google Translate.
Thanks for the help!
