OpenVPN 2.6.4 released

Post by flichtenheld » Tue May 16, 2023 12:05 pm

The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.6.4. This is a small bugfix release.
Note:
  • License amendment: all new commits fall under a modified license that explicitly permits linking with Apache2 libraries (mbedTLS, OpenSSL) - see COPYING for details. Existing code will fall under the new license as soon as all contributors have agreed to the change - work ongoing.
Feature changes:
  • DCO: support kernel-triggered key rotation (avoid IV reuse after 2³² packets). This is the userland side, accepting a message from kernel, and initiating a TLS renegotiation. As of 2.6.4 release, only implemented in FreeBSD kernel.
Windows MSI changes since 2.6.3:
  • Rebuilt included tap-windows driver with the correct version of the old Windows 7 driver, removing a warning about unsigned driver on Windows 7 installation. See GH ​openvpn-build#365.
