OpenVPN CLI Still Causing Kernel Panic

[3ndG4me]

Reference Issue From my Dev Repo:
InjectionSoftwareandSecurityLLC/OpenVPNConnect#15

It was reported to me that, at least on firmware version 2.7.0 for the Pineapple Nano, this module now crashes when starting the VPN. Reviewing the patch notes and seeing a recent note on openvpn specifically being fixed made me think that they perhaps were just on a broken version of the firmware and needed to upgrade.

I was able to replicate the issue with a clean install on a WiFi Pineapple Nano running version 2.7.0 firmware, and can confirm that even issuing an openvpn command via ssh crashes on the line Incoming Data Channel: when setting up a data channel for the connection.

Just wanted to bring this to someone's attention (if it wasn't well known already) as this likely is breaking any OpenVPN dependent modules. If there's anything I can do to assist let me know!

Still no update on this? I’m having the exact same problem on the WiFi pineapple markvii.

I'm the maintainer of the module that's impacted by this bug. Haven't heard anything in years on it now. I'll test on latest firmware again once I have the chance, but afaik it's still an open issue.
