Software-update: OpenVPN 2.6.5

OpenVPN is een robuuste en gemakkelijk in te stellen opensource-vpn-daemon waarmee verschillende private netwerken aan elkaar geknoopt kunnen worden via een versleutelde tunnel over het internet. Voor de beveiliging wordt gebruikgemaakt van de OpenSSL-library, waarmee alle encryptie, authenticatie en certificatie kunnen worden afgehandeld. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 2.6.5 uitgebracht en de changelog voor die uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden.

Tapctl (windows): generate driver-specific names (if using tapctl to create additional tap/wintun/dco devices, and not using --name) (Github #337)Interactive service (windows): do not force target desktop for openvpn.exe - this has no impact for normal use, but enables running of OpenVPN in a scripted way when no user is logged on (for example, via task scheduler) (Github #626)
