upgrading openvpn from 2.3.4 to 2.4

[Michel-jacobs]

anybody did that ? I am stuck deciding which debian package to use. There is a .deb openvpn_2.4.0-6+deb9u1~bpo8+1_armel.deb, that should be in the jessie-backport but does not show up once jessie-backport is added to sources.list and after apt update.

this is a rather important update as tls version 1.2 is supported in 2.4

All good without reboot !

no one connected anymore around 2 o'clock ... I did a sudo make install on the readynas ... Replacing the old openvpn with the new one. Now on 2.4.6 ...

Hi @Michel-jacobs

Have you tried the procedure on this page? I'm not very familiar with it's update but that might work.

Note that NETGEAR does not warrant any 3rd party apps.

Hope this helps!

No support for armhf or armel...

alas!

Trying this now:

wget https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.4.6.tar.gz 

will post results.

(have to wait running make install till nobody uses the openvpn connection ...)
