ANSWERED OpenVPN configurator files to use in openvpn version 2.3.7

[discov 2]

Happy birthday to you AirVPN!
@Staff: For a specific reason, I needed to use AirVPN with an older version of OpenVPN (2.3.7). I tried to generate openVPN configuration generator in the client area and found it is possible to generate them for the max openvpn version 2.4. Is there a way to generate and use the openvpn configuration files for OpenVPN 2.3.7?. I tried using the generated config files in the openvpn version 2.3.7 but was not able to connect. Appreciate your guidance and help.

Hello!

Thank you very much.

OpenVPN 2.4 is the oldest supported version but you can try to use 2.4 profiles and a connection to entry-IP address 1 to avoid tls-crypt which is not supported by 2.3.x but it is mandatory on entry-IP addresses 3 and 4. Entry-IP addresses 1 and 2 still support tls-auth, supported by OpenVPN 2.3 as well.

Also consider that OpenVPN 2.3.7 is affected by many bugs which can potentially interfere with the connection. Please try to upgrade, if possible, to OpenVPN 2.3.17, the latest release of 2.3 branch:
https://community.openvpn.net/Changelogs/ChangesInOpenVPN23

If it is not possible to upgrade and you see from the log that the failure is caused by something related to IPv6, consider to disable IPv6 and refuse the IPv6 related push; you have this option on the Configuration Generator, or you can simply delete the following directives from the configuration file:

push-peer-info
setenv IPV6=yes

Kind regards

Thank you so much @StaffI tried to use 2.3.17 using the 2.4 configuration files, but it didn't work. Probably, I dis not know how to make these changes (a connection to entry-IP address 1 to avoid tls-crypt which is not supported by 2.3.x but it is mandatory on entry-IP addresses 3 and 4. Entry-IP addresses 1 and 2 still support tls-auth, supported by OpenVPN 2.3 as well). Can you please guide on this. I am attaching the log and configuration details. Thanks again.

Hello!

We removed the files attached to your message because they contained your private key. You should proceed to renew it immediately from your AirVPN account "Devices" panel.

After that, in order to generate a configuration working with tls-auth, on the Configuration Generator simply select entry-IP address 1 after you have turned on the "Advanced" switch and you have selected "2.4" on the "Ovpn profile" combo box.

Kind regards
