Panel: "OpenVPN Server: Allowed Clients" - regenerated VPN client does not block access to the server using previous key

Panel: "OpenVPN Server: Allowed Clients" - regenerated VPN client does not block access to the server using previous key.

Test to reproduce:

1. Create VPN client with name "test", push "Add" button, push "Save Changes". Download OVPN configuration and make sure your connection was established successfully.

2. Remove VPN client with name "test" and push "Save Changes".

3. Create VPN client with name "test" again, push "Add" button, push "Save Changes". And reboot router.

4. When router is up to use, try to connect to VPN using keys created first time. Make sure your connection was established successfully. Furthermore, now you can use both OVPN configurations (first and last one) and they will work.

That is serious issue.

Comparing new OVPN configuration file with OVPN created first time, i can see that <cert></cert> content differs, at: Validity, Modulus, "Subject Key Identifier", "Digital Signature" and CERTIFICATE. Also differs <key></key>.

All other content is the same, including <ca></ca> and <tls-auth></tls-auth>

Didn't want to hijack your thread but do you think the problems might be related?

Hello ispyisail,
The problems are not related it is separate issues. The related thing is OpenVPN menu, but it is not the same.

@vdmz

I see your issues reported at

https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargoyle/issues

Just so you don't get your expectations to high just remember that gargoyle is run by volunteers in their spare time.

It will get fixed, just sometimes not as fast as we would like....
