This issue should now be resolved.  If you have issues with the openvpn3
Debian or Ubuntu packages, please get in touch so we can figure it out.

[Openvpn-devel] OpenVPN 3 Linux client - v8 beta released

2020-02-10 Thread David Sommerseth 

Hi,

The OpenVPN 3 Linux v8 beta is now released.

This is available in our git repositories [0] and URLs for source tarballs
are listed later in this e-mail.  We have pre-built binaries for the
following Linux distributions:

* Fedora 30, 31 and Rawhide(via Fedora Copr: x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64)
* RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8  (via Fedora Copr: x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64)
* Debian 9 and 10 (amd64)
* Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 19.04 and 19.10 (amd64)

But there is an annoying detail with this release.  Cloudflare is doing
its best to ensure that the .deb package repositories are corrupt, invalid,
missing or not seeing the new files.  I've tried to do the magic steps
required to clean up this, with no results.

So for now, if you want to test it on those distros you need to build it
yourself from source or use Fedora, RHEL or CentOS - where the repos works
perfectly fine.  In the mean time I will try to figure out how to fix this
Cloudflux mess.


A quick-start guide for OpenVPN 3 Linux can be found here:




The highlights of this release includes:

* Improvement: Brand new DNS resolver settings handling.  This is expected
  to avoid several bugs found in the prior releases; from not cleaning
  up correctly to adding duplicated entries for pushed DNS settings.

* Improvement: Refactored the code tied to setting up the direct route for
  the VPN server.

* Improvement: openvpn3-admin log-service --list-subscriptions now adds the
  PID of the process the log subscription is tied to.

* Bugfix: The openvpn3 Python module broke in v7_beta for Ubuntu 16.04 and
  other distributions shipping with Python 3.5 or older.  This has now been
  fixed but it will be required to install the aenum Python module via
  pip3.  This is not needed on distributions with Python 3.6 or newer.

* Bugfix: The openvpn2 interface would not work if the --verb option was
  missing.

* Bugfix: The D-Bus policy was incorrect for the net.openvpn.v3.netcfg
  service, related to the org.freedesktop.DBus.Ping method.

* Bugfix: Corrected a typo in Python constants related to DNS_SERVER_ADDED

* Bugfix: openvpn2 will now warn about ignoring --up and --down options,
  and will silently ignore --down-pre and --script-security.  These are not
  relevant or supported in OpenVPN 3 Linux. Prior versions did not work.

* Build: It now builds with GCC 10

* Build: It should be possible to build openvpn3-linux with no warnings on
  most platforms (gcc-4.8.5 requires -std=c++1y)

* OpenVPN 3 Core: Upgraded to the latest development version, with lots of
  bugfixes and improvements.
