-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

A serious vulnerability in OpenSSL has been discovered [1]. OpenVPN-NL
does not use OpenSSL and thus is not affected by this bug.

OpenVPN-NL users should consider:
 * OpenVPN-NL uses PolarSSL, not OpenSSL, and is not vulnerable [2].
 * When using OpenVPN-NL together with OpenSSL-based OpenVPN, the
OpenSSL-based peers are vulnerable, and their keys and connection could
be compromised.
 * When using a TLS-auth ('group') key, attackers needs this key to
mount an attack on OpenSSL-based peers (e.g. through an untrusted or
compromised client).
