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
openvpn@.service
was replaced withopenvpn- client@.service
andopenvpn-server@.service
. Restart and reenable accordingly.
This does not affect the functionality of networkmanager
, connman
or
qopenvpn
.
