| + | ## Topics |
| + | |
| + | ### Current topics |
| + | |
| + | * **Updated: security mailing list**\ |
| + | Both community and company want to be in control of security mailing list. We need some resolution.\ |
| + | novaflash suggested to nominate ordex and cron2 as representatives of community to discuss directly with andrew from openvpn inc to come to some agreement.\ |
| + | This idea was accepted by community and novaflash will arrange a date/time for the call. |
| + | |
| + | * **Updated: DCO Linux upstreaming**\ |
| + | Upstreaming DCO to Linux is proceeding, it is in review stage at the moment.\ |
| + | A patchset v22 was sent in on Tuesday. |
| + | |
| + | * **Updated: new --dns option support**\ |
| + | https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22dns+option%22 \ |
| + | As agreed d12fk has been addressing things in the PR and handling comments there.\ |
| + | The new --dns directive allows more functionality and to resolve ambiguity in current dhcp-option dns handling, which is different per client and OS.\ |
| + | OpenVPN2 on unix-like systems does not have built-in DNS handling. On these you tend to have to add --up and --down script handling for DNS. Not ideal.\ |
| + | We want to deliver a DNS script that is enabled by default so OpenVPN2 on unix-like systems can 'just do DNS' out of the box.\ |
| + | But we also don't want to break situations where people have already implemented --up and --down script handling.\ |
| + | The proposed behavior is;\ |
| + | by default dns-script is delivered with openvpn2 on Linux and enabled by default\ |
| + | it is not used when --up script is set in openvpn config file - that will function as before\ |
| + | it is not used when at runtime --dns-script disable is set\ |
| + | it is not used when at compile time --disable-dns-script is set\ |
| + | The PRs for improving DNS implementation using NRPT on Windows and solving a WMIC related problem have already been merged. |
