OpenVPN Support Forum

I run several Ubuntu servers on Trusty, and I've got a test server on Utopic. Current builds in the repository would be really nice.

Thanks!

Hi,

I maintain the official Debian/Ubuntu packages and fully agree with you. The packaging files simply need updating to work for Ubuntu 14.04 and above. I think that copying the updated package metadata from Ubuntu 14.04 distro packages is the easiest path forward. As Ubuntu 14.04 has a fairly up-to-date OpenVPN as-is (2.3.2) and there's nothing really important in later 2.3.x releases I haven't yet done this.

The packaging files are in the sbuild_wrapper repository and I'll happily accept pull requests if someone manages to fix this before I do. I don't need updated packages, because I can build updated ones trivially.

Hi all,

Official Ubuntu 14.04 packages of OpenVPN 2.3.6 are now available in our own apt repositories (instruction for use). If you encounter any issues with these 14.04 packages let me know!

Best regards,

Any chance Ubuntu and other Linux distros will get an actual OpenVPN client connection program like Windows has?
