OpenVPN GUI autoupdating?

JnsLpn

Hey,

I have recently run into an issue, where OpenVPN GUI is updating itself to the newest version.

We have two Windows 10 devices, that have the same issue with OpenVPN GUI client updating itself to the newest version.

We need to keep the OpenVPN version of 2.5.8 on the devices for frequent connections to a server out of our control. The client keeps updating to version 2.6.9 as of late starting few weeks ago.

Last time this happened was March 5th after we had just downgraded back to version 2.5.8 after an automatic update that happened over the weekend. In short, after installing version 2.5.8, the next day it had updated to version 2.6.9. End users had not used the connection in that time.

Is there a way to disable updates for the client or some event that would trigger a client update?

EDIT: It was patch management...

OpenVPN GUI, the open source client for Windows, does not have an autoupdate mechanism.

So it would have to be some external program doing that for you. As such the solution must be found outside of OpenVPN GUI as indeed the original poster here also already found out. So check any programs that are doing automatic updates for programs you have installed and make an exception for OpenVPN GUI.
