Hello. Foreword: I'm not complaining at all! This is just a asking for some comments. I'm been using OpenVPN 2.6 heavily for a long time. I see in main it was upgraded to 2.7, while in 2026Q2 there's still 2.6.19, which is vulnerable (2.6.20 is out). Unfortunately 2.7 breaks many of my configs and while I can easily upgrade some of them, for many others it will be hard and long to have the other side fixed. Reading that 2.6 will be supported until half 2028, I'm evaluating staying with 2.6 a bit longer (while trying to avoid running vulnerable versions). I'm wondering whether an openvpn26 (or openvpn-legacy or whatever) port would make sense. I can probably easily downgrade 2.7 -> 2.6 and keep it updated in my local port tree, but maybe there are other people interested? Any other comment? bye & Thanks av.
