Hello - I am somewhat new to OpenVPN so I have a question about best practice when it comes to updating. I am currently running the Virtual Appliance with Access Server version 2.0.11. When I originally downloaded the appliance, it was 2.0.10, and I since updated it to 2.0.11 using the instructions in the FAQ. Also, I regularly do updates on the OS, Ubuntu 14.04. I know I can update the Access Server to 2.0.12 inside the Virtual Appliance, but my question is what enhancements, security fixes, etc., if any, would I be missing out on by not installing the whole new Virtual Appliance. Is it common practice to always update the OS and Access Server running on top of it, or is it recommended to always save settings, deploy new Access Server, and restore settings to that? I can see benefits and drawbacks to both approaches.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
