Can I take your above statement into consideration when I shop for a commercial VPN provider? For example, before I buy a subscription plan, I will ask if they use tls-auth ta.key. If they do, it means they trust their customers, yes? > (I'm working on adding > support for client-specific tls-auth/tls-crypt keys to fix this, you > can expect a proposal on the openvpn-devel list early next year.) That's good news, Steffan. I wonder why your proposed feature was not included in earlier versions of OpenVPN? Was it because of time constraints? complexity in coding? Regards.
