OpenVPN 1.5-beta2 is out with quite a few stability improvements
on the Windows platform and additional work on TCP support.
Changes include:
* Win 2000 now supported as well as XP.
* The latest TAP-Win32 kernel driver contains several
important stability fixes. If you are upgrading from
beta1, make sure to uninstall the beta1 driver using
the device manager, reboot, and reinstall the new
driver.
* The TAP-Win32 driver now passes the Windows driver
verifier with all verification tests enabled including
low resource simulation.
* Additional work on TCP as a tunnel transport protocol.
TCP now works correctly with --daemon and can connect
to dynamic DNS addresses when --resolv-retry is used.
Breaking a TCP connection produces a SIGUSR1 signal
in OpenVPN which can then be processed according to
your --persist-x options.
In general, I've tried to make TCP mode work as much
like UDP as possible, including having the client
always try to reconnect with the server when the
connection is broken. Like UDP mode, --remote can
be used on the server to preclude all but a certain
address from connecting.
