I am just going through the process of setting up openVPN 1.6 for use
in my office. It is a small office, 10 employees, and will use openVPN
to connect to another small office, 3 employees. I am just wondering if
2.0 is stable enough to implement it in my situation or if I should
stick with 1.6. Don't know if it is worth going through learning the
process with 1.6 and then 2.0 becomes final and I have to learn about
the differences with it.

If you are only going to use OpenVPN for a LAN-to-LAN connection, I'd go for v1.6 as you don't have any use for the new features in v2.0.


If you want to let your employees work from home to, I'd consider using v2.0 as it simplifies "RoadWarrior" configurations a lot.

I've used v2.0 in several small production environments (3-10 clients), and it has worked flawless (except for one bug that have caused me 2 crashed of the openvpn deamon running on my server, but this bug was fixed in v2.0-beta6.).

Learning the diffrences from v1.6 to 2.0 is not a big step.
