I try to work around that the option
--tls-remote
was removed in openvpn 2.4 so my openvpn config file does not work any more.
I tried to downgrade openvpn from 2.4 in Ubuntu 17.10 down to 2.3.4:
apt remove openvpn
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openvpn/openvpn_2.3.4-5+deb8u2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i openvpn_2.3.4-5+deb8u2_amd64.deb
But it seems like 2.3 is not compatible with Ubuntu 17.10: it sais, missing package initscripts
which is not installable on 17.10.
What can I do to get my old config running? Or can I change the config, so it works with 2.4? This is the offending line:
tls-remote "/C=de/L=SomeTown/O=Something/CN=asg.myserver.de/[email protected]"
