- NOTE: There has been important changes to OpenVPN, some
necessary with the update to OpenVPN 2.7. Make
sure you read the details below, especially if
running an OpenVPN server with deprecated features
that have now been removed.
- NEW: Added tls-crypt V2 authentication support to OpenVPN
servers. Don't forget to generate a client key for
each client that will connect to you. The keys can
be generated from the webui, after you have started
the server with TLS control set to "Encrypt Channel
V2". A new button will appear that can generate
a new client key each time you click on it.
- UPDATED: OpenVPN to 2.7.1.
- CHANGED: VPN Status page can now detect running but
non-connected WireGuard client tunnels, and
report them as being in an error state.
- FIXED: Some webui pages may fail to properly show recent
changes after clicking on Apply (an outdated
cached version would be shown instead). Fixed by
disabling ETag support for all .asp files.
- REMOVED: Support for secret static key authentication
from both OpenVPN clients and servers. Deprecated
since 2.7.0, and considered outdated in terms of
security.
- REMOVED: Compression support from OpenVPN server. Update
your client configs if you were using it.
Client support is still available for backward
compatibility with old remote server setups,
but expect it to be removed from OpenVPN 2.8.
If for some reason you absolutely need it for
your server (despite the security implications),
you can still enable it through the Custom settings.
- REMOVED: Some obsolete/non-working OpenVPN settings such
as fast-io (no longer working with 2.7) or data
cipher (were replaced with NCP a few years ago).
