Error msg. when I try to connect to SoftEther server using OpenVPN
by RudraniMahadevi1971 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NCAE)
Happy Sunday folks,
I tried following the instructions of another VPN to connect to SoftEther in /etc/openvpn using Terminal (configfile.opvn was previously downloaded into /etc/openvpn):
$ sudo openvpn <configfile.opvn>
$ user password
and this is the error msg I got:
WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.
I clicked on the link and did my best to read it. The jargon got me so swamped I spaced out for a minute or two. All the article did was confuse the living Hell outta me.
I'm using Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia, 32-bit
$ inxi
CPU: Dual Core Intel Core2 Duo T7250 (-MCP-) speed/min/max: 975/800/2001 MHz
Kernel: 5.4.0-80-generic i686 Up: 1h 32m Mem: 1427.9/2001.0 MiB (71.4%)
Storage: 149.05 GiB (79.2% used) Procs: 186 Shell: bash 4.4.20 inxi: 3.0.32
If anyone can help me with this issue in layman's terms (plain english - not networkese), I'd truly appreciate it.
Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend, especially Caturday! =^..^=
