My OpenVPN connection is secured with a self-signed certificate. Viscosity tries to connect, but just sits there in "connecting" state. I see the following error in the client-side log:
Sep 15 07:34:44: TCPv4_CLIENT link remote: [AF_INET]x.x.x.x:14nn
Sep 15 07:34:45: VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self signed certificate in certificate chain: C=US, ST=MA, L=Cambridge, O=Barrett, OU=IT, CN=barrettfw, emailAddress=[email protected]
How can I tell Viscosity to accept that self-signed certificate?

Hi falcon7700,
The certificates can be self signed, but the ca certificate you are using on the server and the client must match, this error indicates they do not. I would recommend simply regenerating all your certificates again, ensuring to use the correct certificates on your server and client, and being sure not to change any variables for your certificates between generating them.
