Hello,
I'm trying to generate a new client certificate with a custom CN (Common Name) to be used in the OpenVPN client which connects to mt RBR50 (Voxel Firmware).
I think that everytime I push one of the buttons (FOR WINDOWS, FOR MAC OS X, FOR SMART PHONE) in the web interface of Netgear router related to OpenVPN, a new certificate is generated, but how or where can I specify the Common Name (CN) I'd like to use? In a configuration file?
Any Idea?

Thanks in advance
 
If Orbi works the same as R7800, then the certificate is generated by the script /etc/init.d/openvpn
(in the function regenerate_cert_file() )

and then probably you could specify the CN in /etc/easy-rsa/vars
