Download OpenVPN 2.6.8

OpenVPN is a robust and easy-to-setup open source VPN daemon that can connect several private networks together via an encrypted tunnel over the Internet. The OpenSSL library is used for security, which can handle all encryption, authentication and certification. The developers have released version 2.6.8 and the changelog for that release can be found below.

Bug fixes / Code cleanup

• SIGSEGV crash: Do not check key_state buffers that are in S_UNDEF state (Github #449) – the new sanity check function introduced in 2.6.7 sometimes tried to use a NULL pointer after an unsuccessful TLS handshake
• Windows: –dns option did not work when tap-windows6 driver was used, because internal flag for “apply DNS option to DHCP server” wasn't set (Github #447)
• Windows: fix status/log file permissions, caused by regression after changing to CMake build system (Github: #454, Trac: #1430)
• Windows: fix –chdir failures, also caused by error in CMake build system (Github #448)
• doc: fix typos in documentation

User visible changes

• Windows: print warning if pushed options require DHCP (eg DOMAIN-SEARCH) and driver in use does not use DHCP (wintun, dco).
