• The current VPN system based on OpenVPN has his own problems, but Harald did a great job of keeping it online. The license we were using for many years provided by another volunteer has expired and renewing isn't cheap. As there are better and newer solutions we decided to implement a new system https://www.wireguard.com/ Harald will be working on this in the meantime the current VPN is only able to handle two connections at the same time.
• The JSST suggested to implement the "Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy after the various feedback within our department, I created PRs for the various websites.
