> Hi Samuli > >> I can't confirm that 2.3.2 and 2.3.4 are equal from a security point of view, because as Gert said, any version change could bring in new [security] bugs :). > > Please clarify for me and possibly for those who are interested in this issue. > > On the page entitled "Overview of changes in OpenVPN v2.3" (url: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/ChangesInOpenvpn23), as one moves from version 2.3.2 to 2.3.3, there are more than 20 fixes by various OpenVPN developers. And again from version 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 there are a few more fixes. > > Are those fixes soley for Windows platform? Do the fixes apply to Linux platforms as well? If yes, don't you think it's better for me to compile an OpenVPN package binary (version 2.3.4) for OpenBSD if I wish to use OpenBSD as my primary OS? > If the fixes are platform-specific, they will be marked as such. For example, "Fixed an issue <x> on <platform y>". If OpenVPN 2.3.2 is working fine for you don't need to upgrade to 2.3.4. New issues are found and fixes all the time, but those don't make older versions unusable, only slightly less "perfect" than the newer ones. Then again, new versions of software introduce new problems, so an older version might be better in some respects than a newer one.
