Not sure if this affects anyone here, but SHA-1 has been compromised

Use SHA-256 or SHA-3 instead

I thought SHA-1 was deprecated a long time ago… but I’m no expert so I could be wrong and I’m sure I could look it up but I’d rather just have you correct me.

It probably was, I’m not sure either, but with SHA-1 being compromised, I’m trying to get the word out.

You are correct on that. Maybe three years ago, I was forced to redo some self signed certificates for OpenVPN clients after there was some update. None of the clients would connect due to using SHA-1

I’m glad you did!
