OpenVPN client export needs to include remote-cert-tls server
100%
Description
OpenVPN client export needs to include the following line in all client configurations.
remote-cert-tls server
Updated by Jim Pingle over 14 years ago
According to the OpenVPN config file reference, that should be safe to add in all cases, even when TLS is not in use.

We discovered that it was not compatible with the way we built the server certificates. See https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense-packages/repos/mainline/commits/dd7fb03ee362cfee1765749fc80f015e78389504

Nowadays Pfsense seems to be able to generate server certificates, so I don't see any reason to not add 'remote-cert-tls server' to client configs. It helps preventing MITM attacks.

Hmm, nevermind, it seems to include 'ns-cert-type server' nowadays, that should suffice.
