Openvpn unrecognized option tls-version-min

  • 772

I am trying to connect to my university's VPN network using the provided ovpn configuration file. However, I get the following error message:

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in kit.ovpn:9: tls-version-min (2.3.2)

The configuration file "kit.ovpn" contains the following line 9:

tls-version-min 1.2

What is the probleme here and how do I fix it?

  1. You are running an old version of openvpn, namely v 2.3.2, which does not support that option. Make sure you have at least version 2.3.6 installed.

    I assume that you do are still running 14.04 LTS and will have to do the release upgrade via do-release-upgrade and the upgrade the package or manually install openvpn from source.
