- Set renewal period to 3 years before expiry so that users not inconvenienced too much. - Renew server certificate if possible. - There are openvpn server setups where the expiry of the server certificate has been set to 2 years due to a bug in our code. Triggering a setup call will renew these certificates without effecting any clients. Even during the bug, CA certs were still be valid for 10 years. So, they are unaffected. - When downloading profile, if client certificate is renewable, renew before providing profile for download. Old certificates will still be valid until their expiry. Tests: - Without the patches, install openvpn app. Server certificate will be created with a validity of 2 years. Download the client profile. Apply patches, setup will be rerun. OpenVPN will be restarted. Server certificate will be renewed and show 10 years expiry. Old client profile will continue to connect successfully. It will have expiry of 2 years. Download the client profile again. It will an expiry of 10 years and will successfully to the server.

The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
