Gateway certificate check
By default, the gateway certificate will be checked each time a tunnel is opened. It may be necessary to import the complete chain of certification authorities (CAs) to authenticate the gateway, either into the Windows store or into the VPN configuration file.
You can change this default behavior, though we do not recommend doing so (Options menu -> PKI Options).
End of support for "weak" algorithms
For security reasons, this version no longer supports the following algorithms: DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, DH 1-2, DH 5. If a previous configuration contains one of these algorithms, the installer will convert them to "auto" (automatic negotiation with the gateway).
If the gateway only supports this type of algorithm, you will not be able to establish a connection with this version of the SN VPN Client Standard.
