Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
OpenVPN is a robust, scalable and highly configurable VPN (Virtual Private Network) daemon which can be used to securely link two or more private networks using an encrypted tunnel over the internet. It can operate over UDP or TCP, can use SSL or a pre-shared secret to authenticate peers, and in SSL mode, one server can handle many clients.

For install:
Edit /etc/rc.conf[.local] to start OpenVPN automatically at system startup. See /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn for details. Connect to VPN server as a client with this command to include the client.up/down scripts in the initialization: openvpn-client <spec>.ovpn For compatibility notes when interoperating with older OpenVPN versions, please see <http://openvpn.net/relnotes.html> Note that OpenVPN does not officially support LibreSSL. Note that OpenVPN configures a separate user and group "openvpn", which should be used instead of the NFS user "nobody" when an unprivileged user account is desired. You may want to add user openvpn and group openvpn when creating your configuration files, the example configuration shows this only as comments.
If upgrading
Note that OpenVPN now configures a separate user and group "openvpn", which should be used instead of the NFS user "nobody" when an unprivileged user account is desired. It is advisable to review existing configuration files and to consider adding/changing user openvpn and group openvpn.

security/openvpn*: update to 2.6.0, keep openvpn25

- copy openvpn to openvpn25, mark as deprecated and to expire March 31

- update openvpn to openvpn 2.6.0, highlights from Frank Lichtenheld's
  release announcement e-mail, slightly edited:

 * Data Channel Offload (DCO) kernel acceleration support for Windows,
   Linux, and FreeBSD [14].
 * OpenSSL 3 support
 * Improved handling of tunnel MTU, including support for pushable MTU.
 * Outdated cryptographic algorithms disabled by default, but there are
   options to override if necessary.
 * Reworked TLS handshake, making OpenVPN immune to replay-packet state
   exhaustion attacks.
 * Added --peer-fingerprint mode for a more simplistic certificate setup
   and verification.
 * Improved protocol negotiation, leading to faster connection setup.
