Hello, I've just managed to compile a Windows on ARM64 port of OpenVPN. If you happen to have a Windows on ARM laptop (ARM64, not the old RT) I'd like to hear from you and help test things out. I've uploaded it here for the time being -
https://www79.zippyshare.com/v/e8nKxDm9/file.html Obviously it's only partial, there's no installer and no GUI but otherwise seems to work. If you have a decent VPN connection I'd appreciate if you could run a speed test because hopefully running out of the x86 emulator should increase performance and therefore bandwidth, problem is my current router is a bit slow so it'd be the bottleneck anyway (so I currently have no way of testing). It should also help conserve battery power. With that being said I had to compile the OpenSSL libraries with no-asm so it may impair performance a little bit (I used OpenSSL v1.0.2s, which doesn't officially support the platform and required multiple makefile hacks to compile, v1.1.x may be better). Overall I needed to mess with a lot of compiler settings, mainly for OpenSSL and also a bit for OpenVPN itself but didn't change any actual code. The whole project took about ~5 hours. I would like again to ask for feedback from other owners of such laptops, especially how this build compares to the x86 version in terms of speed and battery usage. Also I'd like to inquire what would it take to wrap it in a decent installer and whether an eventual official release can be considered. Sorry for the long message Cheers, Dan.
