      Hello,
      I have recently updated my system image from 3.3.0 to 3.8.0 which is latest version for VOXLCAM. My complete system is functional except OpenVPN. I followed instruction on this link to install openvpn 2.4.6 but without any luck. I followed all steps in installation but my "openvpn --version" stays 2.1.3.

      Main reason to update openvpn was due to TLS Authentication timeout error. On previous system image I was able to connect to openvpn server with tun interface but post system image updation I am unable to do so.

      How to update openvpn 2.4.6 properly on VOXLCAM system image 3.8.0?
      Also in the interim I removed current openvpn 2.1.3 with "opkg remove openvpn" and unable to revert back to even older version of openvpn which is 2.1.3. Please help.

      Install log :

Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator run these commands:


See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

          @Aks Update, flashed a VOXL with 3.8.0-0.7.0

          Once done, I connected my VOXL to WiFi.

          Next I ran the following:

          git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn

cd openvpn

git checkout tags/v2.4.6

autoreconf -i -v -f

./configure --disable-lzo --disable-plugin-auth-pam --prefix=/usr/local

make -j4

make install

          Everything built and installed correctly, verify install with:

          / # openvpn --version

          Maybe run make install without sudo ?

            @tom Thank you for responding back so quickly. I fixed this issue. Acutally my system was referring to old openvpn binaries at "/usr/sbin/" location, whereas openvpn 2.4.6 binaries are installed at "/usr/local/sbin". I had to update path to openvpn in my vpn-start service and things were working. I think path to install binaries should be modified in the instructions to avoid this issue.

              @Aks Ah okay, I wasn't using the systemd service so that makes sense.
