I'm lost, despite having used Mint and OpenVPN in combination for years.
Is anyone running OpenVPN 2.6.4 (latest version) right now?
How did you install it? Are you able to perform updates/upgrades of OpenVPN via a repository or do you perform a purge and then install new versions?
"sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn" is the method shown in some guides to install OpenVPN client.
I seem to have version 2.4.7 on my system but I don't know if this is the client app or server app or what.
Is it necessary to manually update my OpenVPN client version or is this taken care of by Mint updates in some way?
Can anyone set me straight on how this works?
