* **Updated: donations**
13
We have no official donations program at the moment, but it looks like we may be able to arrange something.
14
The difficulty was in who or what agency would arrange the incoming donations and technical and administrative details.
15
We seem to have found a suitable partner for this; https://opencollective.com/openvpn-foss-project

Will work to get this donation option visible on github at least, and untangle some of OpenVPN Inc projects on there.

* **Closed: add openvpn-rfc repo to gerrit for reviewing**
19
Changes to the OpenVPN RFC documents were reviewed only on github in the past.

There is a strong preference to do this on gerrit like other openvpn2 patches.
4a560c novaflash 2026-11-11 13:19:48 21
This has been implemented and it is now preferred to use gerrit for RFC patches and reviews now.

- **test latency and MTU in openvpn**
26
A new feature is proposed for adding to master; ability to do latency and MTU tests in the OpenVPN protocol.
27
This would allow for a client to for example select the best available server based on test results.
28
This is currently under review: https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22oob-server-probe%22
29
The design document is here: https://github.com/lstipakov/openvpn/blob/server-probe-design/design-server-probe.md

- **2.7 security audit**
32
The security audit was completed for 2.7.0 and results are available internally.
33
We are working to publish this in an official blog post. ordex and novaflash are driving this in OpenVPN Inc. internally.
