Support will be removed on both client and server side.

The process of removing OpenVPN from our app starts today and may be completed much earlier.

    Wireguard is more elegant and performant, and has a smaller attack surface. OpenVPN, meanwhile, is a legacy protocol, and retiring it should be a good thing.

      And when exactly did we declare openvpn a legacy protocol?

        About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it

          I feel like that’s kind of a case of circular reasoning though: we move away from it because it’s legacy, and it’s legacy because we’re moving away from it… Mind you, I’m no expert on VPNs; this is just something I thought I’d bring to attention here.

            That’s what makes software legacy; it falls out of popularity. Plenty of terminal applications have barely changed since the 80s, but they’re not “legacy” because they’re actively used and maintained.
