nice to have / wild ideas

Task descriptionAssigned toStatusTicketPatchwork
implement kqueue on MacOS plaisthos wip (but slower than poll()) - -
support TLS alerts plaisthos ??? -
AUTH_TEMP_FAIL ("I can not handle you *now*, but please come back later") [auth-retry noninteract -> something for 3.x mostly, but 2.x must handle gracefully ] plaisthos Done - c9474fa316a6f73286ed97b36c8f8b1ba62141bd
test server that does --auth-user-pass and/or challenge stuff cron2 (snair)--auth-user-pass done, challenge missing
Update OpenVPN PRF (move away from SHA1/MD5) syzzer/plaisthos done(?)
maybe: fix radius-plugin - plugin is useful but not maintained very well ??? ???
test framework improvements (local "make check" crypto tests) syzzer - -
inner VRF support? ?? ?? ??
route monitoring (enable clients to react to network changes) cron2 not started -
maybe: add PRF plugin interface ??? ???
maybe: add key exchange plugin interface (allows easily doing .e.g post quantum kex) ??? ???
maybe: add data channel separation (or, move to ovpn3, which already has this?) ??? ???
investigate TUNSLMODE on FreeBSD and NetBSD to get rid of iroute table (iroutes become normal system routes) cron2 not started - -
Dynamic routes ('route in ccd-file'), depends on netlink support ??? ???
transport plugin (primary use case: obfuscation) ordex wip
tftp/wpad patch jjk patch on list, needs review and merge
support TLS record splitting (like ovpn3) syzzer (started, but no patches available yet) #554
support for multiple-protocol sockets (UDP/TCP) ordex wip -
Support for multiple sockets (multi-port/multi-IP) ordex wip (rebase required) #556
improve control channel performance (further) - redo reliability layer, introduce windowing / scaling syzzer ???

unlikely to happen, keeping the list
