Thanks Gert for your reply. Suppose the maintainer for OpenVPN port at OpenBSD says that the current OpenVPN 2.3.4 version will only be available for OpenBSD 5.6 (scheduled for release in November 2014), what should users of OpenBSD 5.5 do? Regards. Lisa

Hi Samuli It's nice to hear from you. Gert has helped to clarify my doubts. That's nice of him :) Maybe there is no OpenBSD binary package for OpenVPN 2.3.4? In that case you need to compile 2.3.4 from the sources available on openvpn.net. Yes, Gert did advise me to compile it using the

Hi 2.3.2 - 2.3.4 has no significant security impact (if I remember correctly), it's just the provided *windows* binaries have, because they bundle OpenSSL and that one was vulnerable. So from a security PoV, it's ok to stick to 2.3.2, as any version change could bring in new bugs...

Hi Gert, Those are bugfixes, but not *security* fixes. Like, some seldom-used functionality not working right on some of the supported OSes (like the route-gateway stuff, which only affects *client* use on some of the BSDs). You wrote: which only affects client use on some of the BSDs.

Hi guys, One of my friends has just pointed out to me that on Debian Wheezy backports and Jessie, OpenVPN's version still stands at 2.3.2. The version available for OpenBSD 5.5 and 5.6 (to be released in November 2014) is also 2.3.2. What's happening at both Debian and OpenBSD? Regards.
