Description
fork from dsommers/openvpn3 to try to get x86_64 builds going
OpenVPN 3 based client for Linux, built with modern Linux distributions in mind. OpenVPN 3 clients are mostly compatible with OpenVPN 2, but there are some features not yet present - like TAP device support and several other and lesser used features. If your configuration works with the OpenVPN Connect Android and iOS app, it will most likely function quite well as this client uses the same OpenVPN 3 Core Library as OpenVPN Connect.
Installation Instructions
The easiest install method is to ensure the yum/dnf copr plug-in is installed. Then you can do:
# yum copr enable dsommers/openvpn3
# yum install openvpn3-client
Note for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and clones) users
This build depends on Fedora EPEL repositories being enabled. It is also important that RHEL users also enable the CodeReady repository and CentOS/AlmaLinux/RockyLinux users enables the PowerTools repository. This is all described in the Fedora EPEL instructions.
Quick-start guide:

OpenVPN Data Channel Offload support (RHEL-8 and newer, Fedora)
The Data Channel Offload (DCO) kernel module is an OpenVPN kernel based accelerator, which keeps the VPN encryption and decryption in the kernel space to avoid spending time passing data between the kernel and to user space (OpenVPN process) and back to the kernel again.
To enable it, first install the ovpn-dco kernel module:
# yum install kmod-ovpn-dco
Then you must pre-import the configuration profile and activate the DCO mode on that config
$ openvpn3 config-import --config CLIENT_CONFIG --name CONFIG_NAME --persistent
$ openvpn3 config-manage --show --config CONFIG_NAME --dco true
Now you can start the connection, with DCO active:
$ openvpn3 session-start --config CONFIG_NAME
