Hi all,

I am happy to publish the second version of the RFC ovpn-dco support!

This is going to be the *last RFC prototype* before submitting the code
for official review and (possible) merge.

For this reason, please have a look, test and speak up any concern you
may have!

The code has changed quite a lot compared to the previous RFC:
* DCO key handling has been refactored so that we now have two different
  functions for:
  - installing a new key into DCO
  - swapping keys after the new key is promoted to primary
  These two mechanisms were earlier combined in a key-dance function
  that now does not exist anymore.
* the DCO API has been cleaned up:
  - dco.h contains the DCO API that the rest of the OpenVPN code is
    supposed to invoke. These functions are some kind of glue code
    between OpenVPN and the real ovpn-dco(-win).
  - dco_internal.h contains the actual driver API. Its implementation
    is platform dependant and can be found in dco_win.c or dco_linux.c.
* DCO should happily work with both iproute2 and sitnl as it does not
  directly depend on either one. net_iface_new/del are now implemented
  in both backends.
* added Linux DCO build in our GitHub Actions script.

NOTE: the 'none' cipher is still supported but we're discussing whether
to drop support in ovpn-dco before the release.

NOTE2: this patchset requires the patch "tun: remove tun_finalize()" to
be applied on master first.

Linux DCO supports both client and server mode, while
Windows DCO works in client mode only.


Please test, break and have fun!!

Happy weekend!

----------------

As mentioned in the previous version:

This implementation supports both dco for Linux and for Windows.
* For Linux, please get the ovpn-dco kernel module source at:
https://gitlab.com/openvpn/ovpn-dco
(alternatively, it is also packaged on various distributions along with
OpenVPN3-for-Linux)

* For Windows, a snapshot of the driver can be found on:
https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco-win/actions
(note that "test signing" must be enabled on your Windows box, for the
driver to be accepted. Instructions to enable this mode are here:
https://github.com/OpenVPN/ovpn-dco-win/blob/master/README.md#installation
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK)

Hi all,

We would love to get eager early adopters to test OpenVPN2 with ovpn-dco 
support.

For this reason we are providing testing repositories that contain 
OpenVPN2 compiled out of the "dco" branch:

* OpenWRT feed
** https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-dev-openwrt

* COPR repo (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
** for openvpn2: 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn-dco/
** for ovpn-dco: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsommers/openvpn3/


A repository for Debian/Ubuntu is in the making and will be available soon!

If you are excited about getting ovpn-dco running on your server, please 
test and provide feedback.

We already have various instances running this code together with 
ovpn-dco, but the larger the number of beta-testers the better!


Regards,
David Sommerseth Feb. 1, 2022, 4:20 a.m. UTC | #2

Just a few quick steps on how to test this on Fedora and RHEL (with clones).

First, ensure you have the a functional 'yum copr' command.  This is 
normally available by default on Fedora and RHEL-8 and up.

Then run these commands:

    # yum copr enable dsommers/openvpn-dco
    # yum copr enable dsommers/openvpn3
    # yum install kmod-ovpn-dco openvpn

Then you can put your server configs into /etc/openvpn/server and client 
configs into /etc/openvpn/client.

To start the OpenVPN server:

     # systemctl enable --now openvpn-server@CONFIG_NAME

To start the OpenVPN client:

     # systemctl enable --now openvpn-client@CONFIG_NAME

These steps will also start OpenVPN automatically upon boot.  If you 
don't want that, just replace 'enable --now' with 'start'.
