ANSWERED DD-WRT was working but suddenly stopped

I had AirVPN working on my Netgear N7000 with DD-WRT and it suddenly stopped about an hour ago.

 

I am checking the logs and see this:

The message on top is:  "Client: RECONNECTING tls-error"

 

I was using the initial DD-WRT for my router, but just tried upgrading to the latest version by KONG and the issue remains.

 

Any idea why?  Literally nothing (that I know of) changed on my end.

Edit:  issue seems resolved.

 

I removed the "Server IP/Name" from the Time Settings and that seemed to do the trick.

OMG I've been going crazy trying to resolve the same issue for the last 24 hours!!!! I've installed a pihole server on a vm and thought it had to do with that, but even when I took it out of the loop, I was still getting the RECONNECTING tls-error. 

Removing the Server IP/Name address worked for me too. I NEVER would have thought to take it out on my own, so THANK YOU for posting your resolution!!!

I wonder what has caused this bug to suddenly cause a problem.... Our setup has been working fine with the same settings for a couple of years.

Hello!

Cause of the issue is trivial: in 1970 our certificates are not valid.

19700101 01:04:09 N VERIFY ERROR: depth=1 error=certificate is not yet valid: C=IT ST=IT L=Perugia O=airvpn.org CN=airvpn.org CA emailAddress=info@airvpn.org

So no bug but correct behavior.

According to your own descriptions, it is plausible that the router could not reach the configured NTP server to set the correct date and time.

Kind regards
