The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.7_alpha2. This is the first Alpha release for the feature release 2.7.0. As the Alpha name implies this is an early release build, this is not intended for production use.
+
+
Highlights of this release include:
+
* Multi-socket support for servers -- Handle multiple addresses/ports/protocols within one server
+
* Improved Client support for DNS options
+
* Client implementations for Linux/BSD, included with the default install
+
* New client implementation for Windows, adding support for features like split DNS and DNSSEC
+
* Architectural improvements on Windows
+
* The `block-local` flag is now enforced with WFP filters
+
* Windows network adapters are now generated on demand
+
* Windows automatic service now runs as an unpriviledged user
+
* Support for server mode in win-dco driver
+
* Note: Support for the wintun driver has been removed. win-dco is now the default, tap-windows6 is the fallback solution for use-cases not covered by win-dco.
+
* Improved data channel
+
* Enforcement of AES-GCM usage limit
+
* Epoch data keys and packet format
+
* Support for new upstream DCO Linux kernel module
+
* This release supports the new `ovpn` DCO Linux kernel module which will be available in future upstream Linux kernel releases. Backports of the new module to current kernels are available via the [ovpn-backports project](https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-backports).
+
* TLS 1.3 support with bleeding-edge mbedTLS versions
+
+
