openvpn-2.7.1.tar.gz
Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.
Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of OpenVPN 2.7.1.

What's new in this version:
Fixed:
- Fix usage of --lport inside a <connection> block - this got broken with the multi-socket patchset
- Do not try to run auto-pam unit test when cross-compiling
- Do not break private-key passphrases of length >= 64
- Fix obscure ASSERT() crash on TCP connects with TAP and no ip config.
- Make DCO work on FreeBSD systems that have no IPv4 support in kernel (FreeBSD PR 286263)
- Make DCO work on Linux on big endian systems (namely, MIPS and PowerPC)
New features:
- Add a new username-only flag argument to --auth-user-pass which will now make OpenVPN only query for username and send a dummy password to the server. This is only useful if auth schemes are used on the server side that will do some sort of external challenge base on username, and not password authentication. See discussion in GH #501 (starting Jan 30, 2024).
- Increase default sizing of internal hash maps to 4 * --max-clients. The default used to be 256 with a --max-clients default of 1024 - this is bad for performance, while the memory savings are minimal. On a very memory constrained system, reduce --max-clients.
Long-term code maintenance:
- Work on OpenSSL 4.0 API support, reducing use of ASN1_STRING members
- Remove obsolete OpenSSL 1.0.x support code from unit tests
- Improve documentation of management client versioning, replace magic numbers in the code with an enum type
- Fixup responses to management interface version command (for >= 4)
- Make --enable-async-push work on FreeBSD 15 (which has native inotify support, and consequently no libinotify.pc anymore)
- Adjust some code parts to new "const" handling on string function returns (ISO C23, as implemented by glibc 2.43 and newer)
- Remove erroneous usage of M_ERR | M_ERRNO throughout the code
User-visible Changes:
- When compiled with the AWS-LC SSL library, using --tls-cert-profile will now print a run-time warning - the library does not support it, so it would silently do nothing
- Systemd unit files: change LimitNPROC to TasksMax and increase limit
- Documentation improvements
- port-share: log incoming connections at verb 3, not on error level anymore
