Hi Alex,
i can not confirm one of these problems here, have seen also nobody
with that kind of problems in the forum after the update to Core 120.
Problems which has been occured where
- Too old CAs with MD5 in it which the new OpenVPN to not accept
anymore.
- DH-Parameter with 1024 bit which are also not accepted by OpenVPN
anymore.
- Missing Valid til Days value which the new OpenSSL do not accept
anymore.

I use 2.4.5 (meanwhile also 2.4.6 next update) for N2N and RWs on
updated machines but also fresh installed one´s and have no problem at
all. There was also positive feedback in the forum and also a longer
testing period for this update whereby none of this problems occurs...

So am not sure where this comes from ??

Cheers,

Erik

Alex,

Did your problems appear after a pakfire upgrade to 120, or did you install 120 and apply a backup from 119?
