Hello everyone, I have posted a question in the "Community Project Server Administration Installation Help" forum about the updated ndis6 drivers in openvpn 2.3.11 for windows. I was advised to subscribe to the developer mailing list and ask there again, so here goes my inquiry from https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21728:
I noticed, that the NDIS6 drivers in the Windows Port of OpenVPN 2.3.11 (released this week) have been silently updated without notice in the changelog, albeit with the same driver version. It seems to me like there is now another signature on the driver package using the sha256 digest that has been created using an ev certificate. Is there anything else that has changed in the drivers except for the things I have observed? If there is no other change, what was the reasoning for the driver update? The older drivers from 2.3.10 have been timestamped way before the release of Windows 10, so the new requirement for ev certificates for drivers in windows 10 cannot be the reason, they will continue to run fine, because timestamping occurred before the ship date of windows 10. At least this is my understanding of the new ev cert enforcement in windows 10: If created before windows 10 rtm ship date, drivers will work. Any official comment from the openvpn dev team? Kind regards, -- Stefan Kuhr
