- Description:
- OpenVPN is a robust, scalable and highly configurable VPN (Virtual Private

using an encrypted tunnel over the internet. It can operate over UDP or TCP,
can use SSL or a pre-shared secret to authenticate peers, and in SSL mode, one
server can handle many clients.

security/openvpn: bugfix update to 2.7.6
This is not security-relevant on FreeBSD, one security fix affects
Windows, the other one only affects builds against mbedTLS (which is not
currently supported by the port), and a third one (second bullet point)
turned out to not be exploitable.
Note that the --dev option defaults to "tun" (if not specified).
Note that --ping and --keepalive settings are now capped at 24 h.
TCP-based configurations now always enable TCP_NODELAY.
