The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.7_alpha3.
This is the third Alpha release for the feature release 2.7.0.
As the Alpha name implies this is an early release build, it is not intended
for production use.
Feature changes since 2.7_alpha2:
* --dns-updown script for macOS
* Client-side support for PUSH_UPDATE handling
* Support for floating TLS clients when DCO is active
(requires latest versions of DCO drivers)
* Use of user-defined routing tables on Linux
* PQE support for WolfSSL
Important bug fixes since 2.7_alpha2:
* Fix issue in handling DCO messages on Linux that could lead to
various problems due to unhandled messages
* Fix issues with DHCP on Windows with tap driver
Highlights of 2.7 include:
* Multi-socket support for servers -- Handle multiple addresses/ports/protocols
within one server
* Improved Client support for DNS options
* Client implementations for Linux/BSD, included with the default install
* New client implementation for Windows, adding support for features like
split
DNS and DNSSEC
* Architectural improvements on Windows
* The block-local flag is now enforced with WFP filters
* Windows network adapters are now generated on demand
* Windows automatic service now runs as an unprivileged user
* Support for server mode in win-dco driver
Note: Support for the wintun driver has been removed. win-dco is now the
default, tap-windows6 is the fallback solution for use-cases not covered by
win-dco.
* Improved data channel
* Enforcement of AES-GCM usage limit
* Epoch data keys and packet format
* Support for new upstream DCO Linux kernel module
This release supports the new ovpn DCO Linux kernel module which will be
available in future upstream Linux kernel releases. Backports of the new module
to current kernels are available via the ovpn-backports project.
* Client-side support for new PUSH_UPDATE control-channel message
This allows servers to send updates to options like routing and DNS config
without
triggering a reconnect.
* TLS 1.3 support with bleeding-edge mbedTLS versions
