# Topics

- **New: OpenSSL 4.0 support**  
  A few patches are needed in OpenVPN so it can all compile without warnings.  
  Patches are already up for review in Gerrit, but need review and merging.  

- **New: driver signing**  
  The current driver signing uses an EV key that expires April 15. We have a new one so we can do signing manually.  
  But we will discuss possible new automation for driver signing. Not a critical topic as we can do it manually, but should not forget.  

- **New: Tunnelblick security fix**  
  The following is information provided as a courtesy to people using Tunnelblick. The advice is to update to latest version to solve a security issue.  
  The details are unfortunately not known at the moment to OpenVPN Community itself, but there is an updated Tunnelblick release that fixes a particular CVE.  
  This is the currently available information from Tunnelblick website: https://tunnelblick.net/CVE-2026-31893.html  
  Questions regarding this should be directed to Tunnelblick.  

- **Updated: OpenVPN 2.7.1 release**  
  OpenVPN 2.7.1 was released on 31st of March. The main website will get the update soon, but on community.openvpn.net it can be found already now.  
  This is mostly a bugfix release. There are a few more DCO event handling fixes coming.  
  We intend to do a 2.6.20 release to bring some of these fixes done in 2.7 to 2.6 as well. Tentatively in 2 weeks from now.  

- **Updated: forums situation**  
  The header and footer were adjusted a while back to be more community focused. It's not entirely perfect yet but further improvements will be made.  
  Syzzer pointed out we have a 'responsible disclosure procedure' on our main website but it's not linked from the website footer anymore.  
  This will be fixed and also be added into the forum footer.  
  A policy document was made up for the forums, just a beginning; https://community.openvpn.net/Community%20Forum  
   
- **community meetup 2026**  
  Coordination is currently taking place here: https://community.openvpn.net/Meetups/2026-Paderborn  
  The date is around 17 and 18 October, location in Paderborn, Germany.  

- **2.7 security audit**  
  There are still things ongoing in regards to the security audit but no new major findings so far.  
  Still have items to review and go through, but this is ongoing.
