Ubuntu 24.04 has 2.6.9, I think. 22.04 predates 2.6.0 release (January 2023), and by Debian/Ubuntu policy they will never do major upgrades inside a LTS train - so 22.04 will (usually) get all security relevant fixes to 2.5.x, and might get backports of non-security fixes that go into 2.6.x, but will never have a "2.6.x-0ubuntu" That said, there's the upstream repo maintained by Frank / Samuli, so you can have 2.6.x from there if needed https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos ... but unless there is a compelling reason, using a 2.5.x release in a LTS distribution (where the distribution maintainer makes sure relevant bugfixes are included) is usually "good enough". In the other thread, 2.4.0 was used, and we know there are tons of issues in each .0 subrelease - the release/2.4 train went up to release 2.4.12 with bugfixes discovered in the maintenance lifetime of 2.4... As an outlook, 2.7.0 is planned to be released in time so that "Debian-next" can pick it up :-) - while Ubuntu does their thing and never talks to us, the Debian maintainer is quite good in coordinating with us (upstream developers). gert -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out.
