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.

Re: Upgrading OpenVPN to 2.4.2 on Centos
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.

Re: Upgrading OpenVPN to 2.4.2 on Centos
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.
