I've been running OpenVPN 2.1 RC 11, 13 and 15 stable in production environment
since June. I have
not had any particular issues. The site is not extremely hard tested, but
stability is present. I
did some long-term testing on RC 11, with TLS keys being renewed every 10
minutes and had the
session open for about 50 hours. The connections was rock solid, even though a
little bit slower
due to the very frequent key renewal.
In this setup, I'm using dev-type tap, UDP, LZO, TLS (server/client),
ifconfig-pool,
client-config-dir, client-to-client, persist-{key,tun}, AES-CBC cipher, chroot,
management, running
as non-root user and the plugin option. The plugin being used is my own
authentication plugin
(http://www.eurephia.net)
During this long run, I also did not notice any obvious memory leaks. It
simply felt rock solid.
I hope this was helpful for you (or others). Regarding GA date, I'm also
waiting for this date.
kind regards,
David Sommerseth
