June 17, 20215 yr Still on 6.9.1 and not working, any recommendations on an alternative if depreciatedI’ve moved over to the unraid built-in Wireguard solution with great success:https://forums.unraid.net/topic/84226-wireguard-quickstart/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 17, 20215 yr For those that want a workaround to get it working again after last update broke it: Pull the version before the last (6 days earlier than it) - 2.8.8-cbf850a0-Ubuntu18-ls122 Worked for me in the meantime Edited June 17, 20215 yr by uraid

June 17, 20215 yr Besides the upcoming security issues (if there are any): Is it by security means accaptable just to stay on that working version the next time till the docker gets a new maintainer?

I intend to ultimately move to wireguard as well, so that's a no for me, but everyone is free to make their choice. Openvpn is more mature and peer reviewed, but seems to be that wireguard has all the attention nowadays

That fixed it Hi, Would you be able to provide a little more guidance where the new user agreement is found in the OpenVPN Management Console? Thanks.
June 28, 20215 yr Very annoying that OpenVPN-as is one of the most important/critical dockers I run and its the one that always randomly breaks and I don't notice it until it's too late when I'm not home and need to remote in. Changing the repo to linuxserver/openvpn-as:2.8.8-cbf850a0-Ubuntu18-ls122 according to the comment above fixed it anyway. Hopefully it'll stay fixed since that version number/repo adress shouldn't change.

July 6, 20214 yr So what is next for people who need openvpn? I run Wireguard yes, but many places block UDP so I need openvpn as a fallback. Is it even safe/secure to use if there will be no further updates? Does openVPN-AS still get updates, just not this particular container?
July 7, 20214 yr Hi, thanks! it worked, but client can´t connect, tested from Android and Windows, any way i installed Dynamix WireGuard and works fine, will Throw Open VPN as. Edited July 7, 20214 yr by serch826

The reason we've dropped it is due to the constant band-aid fixes we have to do and something breaks on every update they push out.

I just want to clarify that means there will likely be security fixes that do not end up here eventually? I need openVPN due to Wireguard being blocked on many networks etc. So perhaps the best thing to do would be use this for now since it works great, use Wireguard when I can, and setup openvpn configured some other way to get the updates? I just would hate to run something as critical as a VPN without any future patches.
July 9, 20214 yr I have created a fork of the linuxserver container, and i will try to maintain this container in the future (at least until the builds break again). Therefore I and others can have security fixes for a bit longer at least. You can find a mirror of my fork here: https://github.com/fabianbees/docker-openvpn-as Docker images will be pushed here: https://hub.docker.com/r/fabianbees/openvpn-as I have not found time yet to update the Readme.md and change the dockerimage to point to my image instad of the linuxserver one, but this will be done in the future. As i don't use jenkins in my homelab i just added some build-scrips, so i can build this image with gitlab-ci on my private gitlab instance. -> UPDATE: I have added a disclaimer at the top of the readme.md and removed all references to the linuxserver team i have found so far, so that it is clear, that these builds are not related to them. For now my image has the latest version of openvpn-as, which is version 2.9.2 at this time. (Linuxserver has 2.9.0) If you want to switch to my docker image, you can do so my changing the image-repository in unraid from linuxserver/openvpn-as to fabianbees/openvpn-as But please make a backup of your appdata first, before changing to the new image just in case something goes wrong.

July 9, 20214 yr Thanks for the journey thus far, Ive switched over to Wireguard it was easy to setup

I would have to physically go to the different location where my backup server is and change the vpn settings. YODA BEST!
