New version of IPFire 2.13 available


IPFire 2.13 Core 75 was released.

"So it is a new year and here is the first update of 2014: IPFire 2.13 Core Update 75. It comes with urgent bug fixes that solve problems introduced in the previous update. Due to a change in OpenVPN 2.3, the common name of the certificate of the user that was connection was formatted in another way than before. As such, the certificate could not be properly validated because it was searched for with a different name. This update ships a fixed version of the verify script that can work with both formats of the common name. Because of a related cause, the route configuration was not pushed to some clients when they connected. This issue, filed under bug id #10323, has been addressed in this update."
