The upgrade to OpenVPN 2.4.0 makes changes that are incompatible with previous configurations. Take special care if you depend on VPN connectivity for remote access! Administrative interaction is required:
- Configuration is expected in sub directories now. Move your files
from
/etc/openvpn/to/etc/openvpn/server/or/etc/openvpn/client/. - The plugin lookup path changed, remove extra
plugins/from relative paths. - The systemd unit
[email protected]was replaced with[email protected]and[email protected]. Restart and reenable accordingly.
This does not affect the functionality of networkmanager, connman
or qopenvpn.
