Dirk, do you remember why you removed iproute2 support along with the upgrade from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4? https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/network:vpn/openvpn?linkrev=base&rev=168 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

OpenVPN can be compile-time configured to either use netlink (default) or iproute2, but only the latter allows entirely unprivilegd setups. But does switching back from netlink to iproute2 have any negative effects on performance or functionality for setups that start openvpn as root? I wonder how widely used entirely unprivileged setups are, given that it took almost a year until we got a complaint that we don't support them anymore. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
