IMHO the Net:::SSLeay module is compiled 'static'. So the .DLL's from openssl are not used by this module.

The problem is that the module is up to date (1.68), but OpenSSL is still from February. Wouldn't the old DLL cause problems with the newer version of the module? 1.0.2c was released yesterday to patch yet another vulnerability. I don't have the tools installed to compile the dll from Source on Windows, but supposed I could. I really don't know what I'm doing in that respect though and worry that it wouldn't be 100% right causing instability or worse.
