• Updated: 2.7 security audit
  ordex arranged mostly through STF funding to get a security audit of OpenVPN 2.7 (currently in release candidate phase).
  Recently this has kicked off and 2.7 is being put through the meat grinder now by SRLabs.

• Updated: Release 2.7
  Currently we're working on 2.7rc2.
  There are some security reports coming in and being triaged at the moment.

• Updated: Release 2.6.16
  Some of the issues for 2.7 also affect 2.6 code.
  So a 2.6.16 release seems prudent, to coincide with similar/same fixes done in 2.7rc2.
