Dazo will reach out to cron2 about this to gather his feedback."_ - **IPv6 to Community** _"Cloudflare IPv6 compatibility is turned off on openvpn.net because the company is worried it might break something.

But will work to get a date we can hold him to."_ - **security@openvpn.net Mailing List** _"Company is trying to get to SOC2 compliance.

When we pick up this task we can coordinate on it."_ - **2.7 Plans, If Any?** _"Are there any features that we have in mind that will not make it into 2.6.*? Signal handling respin, 2.6 refactor, bloom filter DDoS reflection protection."_ - **Forums Machine on Community Infrastructure is Only Non-Linux System.** _"Mattock made a new forums system that runs on Rocky Linux 8 as agreed with ecrist.
