I haven't upgraded yet from the old OpenVPN Server to the new configuration.
Is this required for 26.1?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

You can install the community plugin and continue to use the legacy setup.

[franco]

Which, being on 25.7, would already be installed anyway.  ;)


Cheers,
Franco

strange - our CE nodes are not registering the new 26.1 as installable.
