I'm not sure this patch is created correctly.
I'm learning about patch so I can figure out how to apply these changes and test.

The actual path of the original file is: /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/logs.cgi/ovpnclients.dat

the patch points to diff --git a/html/cgi-bin/logs.cgi/ovpnclients.dat b/html/cgi-bin/logs.cgi/ovpnclients.dat
but there is no cgi-bin/ under html/

Please advise or better yet, give me a short primer on how to apply the patch.

Thank you, Paul

This patch changes that we no longer interpret any dates put in by the
user as UTC. They used to be converted into localtime because, although
they have already been in local time.

This went unnoticed since in Europe we are close (enough) to UTC that
there is no significant discrepancy on the report. However, being in
North America is enough to generate confusing reports.
