Edit /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf to change the expiration time from 365 days. You need to edit as root "sudo su"



Partial instructions for doing this on computer vs edgerouter....
1: Install OpenSSL on computer

2: Modify file to extend days past 365 (optional)
- "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\openssl-easyrsa.cnf"
- - default_days
- - default_crl_days

3: Run "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa\EasyRSA-Start.bat"

#Make output directory
mkdir newconfig

# Create DH File:
openssl dhparam -out newconfig/dh.pem -2 2048


#Not finished...
