Hi. This is a request for feedback from OpenVPN Windows users by the OpenVPN development team.
The Windows installers for OpenVPN 2 provided by the OpenVPN community (i.e. https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/) currently include a copy of the Easy-RSA project (https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa) which provides a script to easily manage a Certificate Authority and certificates. Since Easy-RSA is implemented for POSIX shells it also ships with its own executables that implement the required functionality on Windows. This runtime environment is old and we need to update it since it causes problems on Windows 11 in some circumstances. We thought this would be a good opportunity to ask whether anyone is actually interested in the bundled Easy-RSA. Do you run OpenVPN as a server on Windows and use the bundled Easy-RSA for your PKI management? Or you do not use OpenVPN as a server but you still have a use for the bundled Easy-RSA? Then we would like to hear from you and learn more about your use-case. We assume that in most cases it is much easier to run Easy-RSA in a native Linux environment like WSL (or other VMs) or use a much better maintained POSIX environment like Git-Bash. Also we assume that very few users actually run OpenVPN as a server on Windows in the first place. But maybe we're wrong? Please let us know.
