OpenVPN Client Export for OpenVPN 2.4
-
A new version of OpenVPN client export for pfSense 2.3.2-p1 with the Windows installer for OpenVPN 2.4 is up now for testing.
Key changes:
- OpenVPN 2.4 is available to download. There is only one OpenVPN 2.4 installer, but it works on both 64 and 32 bit versions of Windows. This installer requires Windows Vista or later and will not work on Windows XP
- The manager option for Windows has been removed from the export package and installer. The native OpenVPN-GUI uses the new service in OpenVPN 2.4 for managing connections, meaning unprivileged users can use OpenVPN and it will add routes properly. (Note that admin access is still required to install the OpenVPN client)
- OpenVPN 2.3.x client options remain in the export package for the time being, and they have been updated to 2.3.14
Changes for the server side of things should work as they always have. pfSense 2.3.2-p1 does not have OpenVPN 2.4, so the package does not need to attempt to handle its settings.

I like the Client Export package. Who could I talk to about adding an ONC option for Chromebooks. OpenVPN support in Chrome OS is still pretty bad.

I have looked into that before and it wasn't so easy to deal with. Granted that was a couple years ago, and it might have changed since then. The problem is that all of the other platforms only require us to create a standard style OpenVPN configuration but package it in slightly different ways or add/omit certain directives. Chrome OS requires you to make a specially-crafted file in a completely different format.
I'm sure it could be done, but it would require a completely different style than anything else the package has already.
