OpenVPN Technologies has released OpenVPN Connect 1.0.1, an update to the company’s official, full-featured iPhone/iPad client for the OpenVPN Access Server, Private Tunnel, and OpenVPN Community.

Version 1.0.1 brings so many changes it would be impossible to detail them all in this quick, informative blog post, but I’ll do my best to highlight some of the important changes.

For example, the update fixes proxy error "NTLM phase-2 Content-Length is not zero," updates PolarSSL to 1.1.6, and implements "tls-remote," "route-nopull," "remote-random," "cipher none," and "auth none" directives.

OpenVPN Connect now supports DNS names that resolve to multiple addresses by trying each address in sequence, and requires one-time user confirmation before starting initial VPN connection. This change was at Apple's request, according to the developers.

The software now proactively reconnects to the network as devices move between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The app also brings up an error dialog when unsupported modes are used. See the full set of changes here.
