Hi,

I have used that version, since ten days, when I work from home, without any problem.

Best regards,

Nico.

I've been toying with the idea of using a vpn for a while, but haven't taken the plunge yet, so I can't really test this. But, I can add an installation check from another party, just to be overly cautious. 

I updated openvpn in a VirtualBox guest, with no installation issues. Using Comment 3 to verify that it works, I'm going to OK it and validate. Advisory in Comment 2.
