Hello
Thanks for the response, unfortunately the provided link doesn't give specifics as to the commands I would use to upgrade OpenVPN. Has anyone upgrade their version of OpenVPN and if so, would you be kind enough to provide me with the steps used. Thanks for the help.

you should first upgrade to the latest stable release , that is Centos 6.9
openvpn 2.4.1 is already provided in the epel repository
Code: Select all
yum install epel-release && yum install openvpn
if you must have the latest and greatest ...
Code: Select all
yum install epel-release gcc gcc-c++ yum-utils
yum-builddep openvpn
wget https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.4.2.tar.gz
tar xvf openvpn-2.4.2.tar.gz
cd openvpn-2.4.2
./configure
make
make install

Hello
FYI. My version of Centos is SHMZ release 6.6 (Final). I wasn't able to update it to the latest Centos release. Is this because it's a fixed version of FreePBX (SHMZ)?
Next I followed the steps to install openvpn 2.4.2. All went well, however when I login I see the "Access Server" version is 2.0.21. Are there other steps I should be taking?
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Hello
Thanks for getting back to me. I have OpenVPN Access Server 2.0.21on a Lap Top running Centos SHMZ 6.6 (Final). It looks like latest release is 2.1.6 (I thought it was 2.4.2 - sorry, my mistake). My question is, how do I go about installing / upgrading to the latest release (2.1.6) on my lap Top?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

It seems like you have both installed , my guide above was for openvpn 2.4.2 which is the free version
openvpn access server is a paid version (*free for two users) with a nice web admin gui and professional support (i guess) , and i don't use this version so i can't help you.
