Johns Hopkins University's Dr Matthew Green will be responsible for the security controls of the new OpenVPN 2.4.
The open source VPN project, distributed through GitHub, έχει αναπτυχθεί για να υποστηρίζει όλες τις πλατφόρμες, από Solaris μέχρι Windows, many Linux and BSD distributions including OSX, but also jailbroken iOS. 
It is also used by the VPN provider Private Internet Access (PIA), which is also the company who decided to fund the security review of the Open Source project. The announcement was made in a press release from the company.
In this publication, CIAb Chen of PIA reports that Dr. Green was funded to review version 2.4, which is currently in beta, and when the version is released in its final form, "it will be compared and evaluated to complete security testing".
Chen says the PIA has decided to fund the review itself "Due to the integral nature of OpenVPN and the privacy community as a whole in our company philosophy."
The post says the report will be released first to the OpenVPN community before publication and that the PIA will help with any repairs needed to increase security.
