Security
OpenSSL Heartbleed: OpenVPN for Android uses its own non vulnerable OpenSSL version. For more details about OpenVPN and Heartbleed see: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/heartbleed
- OpenSSL 1.1.1a with TLS 1.3, expect some breakage on weird or uncommon TLS configurations!
- VORACLE mitigation, compression defaults to asymmetric if enabled
- IPv6 only VPN support
- OpenVPN 3 core switched to OpenSSL 1.1.1a
- External PKI support (alpha)
- Use -O0 for lzo on armv7a to workaround compiler breakage
