The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.6.2. This is mostly a bugfix release with some improvements.
Feature changes: * implement byte counter statistics for DCO Linux (p2mp server and client) * implement byte counter statistics for DCO Windows (client only) * "--dns server <n> address ..." now permits up to 8 v4 or v6 addresses Important note for Linux DCO users: New control packets flow for data channel offloading on Linux: 2.6.2+ changes the way OpenVPN control packets are handled on Linux when DCO is active, fixing the lockups observed with 2.6.0/2.6.1 under high client connect/disconnect activity. This is an INCOMPATIBLE change and therefore an ovpn-dco kernel module older than v0.2.20230323 (commit ID 726fdfe0fa21) will not work anymore and must be upgraded. The kernel module was renamed to "ovpn-dco-v2.ko" in order to highlight this change and ensure that users and userspace software could easily understand which version is loaded. Attempting to use the old ovpn-dco with 2.6.2+ will lead to disabling DCO at runtime. Windows MSI changes since 2.6.1: * Update included openvpn-gui to 11.39.0.0 More details can be found in the Changes document: <https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/release/2.6/Changes.rst> (The Changes document also contains a section with work-arounds for common problems encountered when using OpenVPN with OpenSSL 3) Source code and Windows installers can be downloaded from our download page: <https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/> Debian and Ubuntu packages are available in the official apt repositories: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos> On Red Hat derivatives we recommend using the Fedora Copr repository. <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn-release/> Kind regards, -- Frank Lichtenheld _______________________________________________ Openvpn-announce mailing list Openvpn-announce@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-announce
