Here's a weird one.
I tried to use WGET to fetch configuration files from the VPN provider and I saw another certificate error. This time, WGET reported that the server certificate was signed by my local CA, and that the hostname didn't match. It was comparing the common name of the server (correct) to the common name of a wildcard cert that my local CA had signed recently.
Any ideas why the system is using these certs? Does that get configured somewhere??
