The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.4.3. It
can be downloaded from here:

<http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html>

OpenVPN v2.4.2 was analyzed closely using a fuzzer by Guido Vranken. In
the process several vulnerabilities were found, some of which are
remotely exploitable in certain circumstances. We recommend you to
upgrade to OpenVPN 2.4.3 or 2.3.17 as soon as possible. More details are
available in our official security announcement:

<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/VulnerabilitiesFixedInOpenVPN243>

In addition a number of bugs with no security impact have been fixed.
The one big feature in the 2.4.3 release is support for building with
OpenSSL 1.1.

A summary of all included changes is available here:

Compared to OpenVPN 2.3 this is a major update with a large number of
new features, improvements and fixes. Some of the major features are
AEAD (GCM) cipher and Elliptic Curve DH key exchange support, improved
IPv4/IPv6 dual stack support and more seamless connection migration when
client's IP address changes (Peer-ID). Also, the new --tls-crypt feature
can be used to increase users' connection privacy.

OpenVPN GUI bundled with the Windows installer has a large number of new
features compared to the one bundled with OpenVPN 2.3. One of major
features is the ability to run OpenVPN GUI without administrator privileges.
