## OpenVPN 2.7_beta2 -- Released 25 September 2025
+
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.7_beta2. This is the second Beta release for the feature release 2.7.0. As the Beta name implies this is an early release build, it is not intended for production use.
+
+
Feature changes since 2.7_beta1:
+
* greatly improved event log handling for the Windows interactive service - this brings build system changes and a new openvpnservmsg.dll
+
+
Important bug fixes since 2.7_beta1:
+
* add proper input sanitation to DNS strings to prevent an attack coming from a trusted-but-malicous OpenVPN server ([CVE-2025-10680](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-10680), affects unixoid systems with `--dns-updown` scripts and windows using the built-in powershell call)
+
* bugfixes when using multi-socket on windows (properly recognize that TCP server mode does not work with DCO, properly handle TCP multi-socket server setups without DCO)
+
* bring back configuring of IPv4 broadcast addresses on Linux
+
* repair "--dhcp-option DNS" setting in combination with DHCP (TAP) or "--up" scripts (Github: [OpenVPN/openvpn#839](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/issues/839), [OpenVPN/openvpn#840](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/issues/840))
+

For a list of all changes see the [git log](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/compare/v2.7_beta1...v2.7_beta2).
+
+
Highlights of 2.7 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/macOS, 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).
+
* Client-side support for new `PUSH_UPDATE` control-channel message
+
* This allows servers to send updates to options like routing and DNS config without triggering a reconnect.
+
* PUSH_UPDATE server support (minimal)
+
* New management interface commands `push-update-broad` and `push-update-cid` to send PUSH_UPDATE option updates.
+
* TLS 1.3 support with bleeding-edge mbedTLS versions
+
* Two new environment variables have been introduced to communicate desired default gateway redirection to plugins like Network Manager.
+
