Package: openvpn3 Version: N/A Severity: wishlist * Package name: openvpn3 Upstream Author: David Sommerseth <dav...@openvpn.net> * URL: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3-linux * License: AGPLv3 Description: OpenVPN 3 Linux Client
I'm working on a brand new OpenVPN client on Linux. This is a complete rewrite of OpenVPN (in C++) but maintains backwards compatibility with most of the OpenVPN 2.x servers which are widely adopted. This new client uses also a very different approach than the classic OpenVPN 2.x. It is fully based on D-Bus, which gives the possibility of proper privilege separation out-of-the-box (no more sudo from the command line). And it provides a Python 3 module to easily implement your own front-end interfaces towards the backend services. There is still some work needed to be done on this client, it isn't 100% production ready. But we're getting closer to a beta release. The current state now is that it generally runs fine and stable, even over many days and weeks. More information can be found on GitHub (or GitLab, if you prefer that) I have also provided a functional openvpn3 Copr package (for early testers on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS) which can be found here: <https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn3/> I would appreciate help in getting this packaged for Debian (and implicitly Ubuntu) - especially since I have no Debian packaging experience and my hands are full on reaching a complete release. Feel free to reach out for more information. I'm also hanging out on FreeNode (nick: dazo) and is definitely available on #openvpn and #openvpn-devel. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Inc
