you can install openvpn3 from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~djpig/+archive/ubuntu/openvpn
Sorry for the late reply. TL;DR: Use the PPA repo mentioned above.
I'm working on a huge required refactoring for newer Linux distributions shipping with glib2 2.76 and newer. This library version is basically incompatible with OpenVPN 3 Linux v21 and older. The refactored work is provided via the PPA repo mentioned.
For more details and reporting feedback and related issues can be done in #171. I want to keep this ticket open, as this question will most likely come more frequently. This ticket should be closed when #171 is fully resolved and closed.
is it possible this is not working well? https://launchpad.net/~djpig/+archive/ubuntu/openvpn I was able to install openvpn3 running ubuntu 24.04 but I couldn't connect to the VPN. I'm trying to connect to the OpenVPN cloudconexa. it's supposed to open the browser to ingress my credentials and finish the authentication. this last part never took place. can someone confirm if it's facing the same issue? here are the logs:

@apallares19-sys I had the same problem with my company's CloudConnexa VPN. I couldn't find a fix, so I reverted to Ubuntu 22.04 for now. Sorry I don't have a solution, but I can at least confirm it's not just you.
I'm getting the following error on 24.04:
session-start: ** ERROR ** User authentication failed
Usually, at authentication phase, a new browser window should open, and I can authenticate to my corporate account, but that simply doesn't happen for some odd reason.
I'm on the latest dev package:

Any ideas?
@diman82 sorry! I snapped to quickly ... you are running the GDBus++ migrated build
I'm just about to wrap up a builds for QA which will be the final v22_dev
release .... One that's done, I'll see if I can provide some earlier snapshot builds for you to test. There's been several enhancements since the last PPA builds.
@dsommers Please tag me when you have the early snapshots for testing.
QA is going through the final tests. I expect QA's report by end of this week - unless something really severe is found last minute. Then the release machinery will be kicked off which leads to a final tests of the release builds before it's made available for the public.
Since the v22_dev
release is a massive refactoring of core components of the OpenVPN 3 Linux code, we do some extended testing to ensure we have caught as many possible issues as possible and don't on important aspects regress from prior releases. So far it's looking quite promising, but it's needed to allow QA to complete.
The PPA mentioned higher up carries the last available development snapshot, but there has been applied bug fixes since that build. We don't plan on any further snapshots until the release point.
do you have an estimated release date for the 24.04 compatible version? i have been eagerly waiting for this since i upgraded to noble numbat :)
@h-hollies We don't announce an ETA for releases. But the PPA repo mentioned here a few times do have fully functional builds for 24.04. That repo is provided by a colleague, so it can be considered an official development snapshot repo.
See this comment for details on the upcoming release. The v22_dev
release is on the way out now.
OpenVPN 3 Linux v22_dev has been released. Please see the installation instructions for Ubuntu. The v22_dev
release targets only Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 39 and newer.
Is there any provision for support for version 24.04 of Ubuntu (noble)?
