Update (2019-10)
Oh noooo, now our famous VPN provider got hacked really bad. Private keys for OpenVPN have been revealed, but they already expired in 2018. Nevertheless, it could be that those keys were hacked in 2018 when they were still valid. All I can say: “Told ya!”

Lessons learned: Triple check for safety’s sake.
