      When pfSense releases a new version of openvpn-client-export, of course the Dashboard > Installed Packages shows openvpn-client-export in yellow text. Does the user need to remove the current openvpn-client-export before installing the new version? Do you need to open up a shell and delete some files/directories from there? Or can you just go to System > Package Manager and upgrade to the newer version? Thank you.

        Just upgrade the Package, but make sure you run the latest pfSense Version before Package Upgrades in general.
        Personally I always take a Backup before touching anything, just in case...

          Interestingly, when I went to upgrade the openvpn-client-export, the upgrade hung on, "Please wait while the update system initializes." I gave it some time and then clicked back to Installed Packages tab and it looked like it installed. As a test, I removed the openvpn-client-export and the same hang occurred, "Please wait while the update system initializes." I gave it some time and then clicked back to the Installed Packages tab and it looks like it was removed. I then went to the Available Packages tab and installed the openvpn-client-export and the Package Installer tab showed the installation process all the way to "Success." Odd...I remember when an upgrade or removal showed the process, not just the install.
