+ ## OpenVPN 2.6.15 -- Released 22 September 2025
+ The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.6.15. This is a bugfix release.
+
+ For details see [Changes.rst](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/v2.6.15/Changes.rst)
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ * on Windows, do not use "wmic.exe" any longer to set DNS search domain
+ (discontinued by Microsoft), use "powershell" fragment instead.
+ * on Windows, logging to the windows event log has been improved
+ (and logging of GetLastError() strings repaired). To make this work,
+ a new "openvpnmsgserv.dll" library is now installed and registered.
+ * DNS domain names are now strictly validated with a positive-list of
+ allowed characters (including UTF-8 high-bit-set bytes) before being
+ handed to powershell.
+ * Apply more checks to incoming TLS handshake packets before creating
+ new state - namely, verify message ID / acked ID for "valid range for
+ an initial packet". This fixes a problem with clients that float
+ very early but send control channel packet from the pre-float IP
+ (Github: [OpenVPN/openvpn#704](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/issues/704),
+ backported from 2.7_beta1.
+ * backport handling of client float notifications on FreeBSD 14/STABLE DCO
+ (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289303)
+ * update GPL license text to latest version from FSF
+ * on Linux, on interfaces where applicable, OpenVPN explicitly configures
+ the broadcast address again. This was dropped for 2.6.0 "because
+ computers are smart and can do it themselves", but the kernel netlink
+ interface isn't, and will install "0.0.0.0". This does not normally
+ matter, but for broadcast-based applications that get the address to
+ use from "ifconfig", this change repairs functionality.
+
+ Windows MSI changes since 2.6.14-I004:
+ * Built against OpenSSL 3.5.3
+ * Included openvpn-gui updated to 11.56.0.0
+ * Fix "Cannot open the System Tray Menu with Keyboard" (Github: [OpenVPN/openvpn-gui#763](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/763))
