Hi Michael,

OK will adapt the patches to Core 116 and send it as soon as possible to the dev list.

Have builded and also tested the 2.4 from Alpha version to the until now actual 2.4.4 and have had no issues at all. The development in there --> https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=18067#p104536 is relatively lonely since i do the testings on my own accept one user which made a very quick positive test. Since i normally want some more testers before i go for a merge request i am there a little lost until now since there is no feedback at all.
I developed a minimal solution which includes the needed changes to bring the 2.4.x version to life on IPFire but there is also an extended one with several new features also available over the ovpnmain.cgi.

Larger testing round can also be found in here --> https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=17656 whereby i tried to explain also the new and for interesting features also al little.

I think 2.3 will be supported for longer time but 2.4 has some very good improvements under the hood and above and i think it might be nice for IPFire even some more testers might be great for that may it is nevertheless time to push it to mainline ?

Best,

Erik
