Hi,
I know the official stable version of openvpn is 2.0.9, but this version
is 3 years old and outdated! Normally there is nothing wrong with 3 years
old software, but this version doesn't work with the most of the
openvpn-servers I have to connect!
Most of the servers require version >=2.1_RC7. And even Debain-stable
ships openvpn 2.1_RC7!
Best regards

What do you think? Here's the advantages of 2.1:
- More features
- I use 2.1 exclusively, so if we switch to 2.1, someone would actively
maintain and test openvpn (me)
- The "release candidates" are as stable as you would expect a final
release, they always work great.
Should we switch to openvpn 2.1?
Seems silly to me to stick with old software, esp if Debian stable is
outpacing us...
Agreed. I just put 2.1_rc18 in testing for both arches. It works here
for me to connect to a vpn, so I put it out there for feedback from others.
I'll plan to move it in a week if there are no outstanding issues.
