Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, <a href="security.html">proactive security</a> and <a href="crypto.html">integrated cryptography</a>. As an example of the effect OpenBSD has, the popular <a href="https://www.openssh.com">OpenSSH</a> software comes from OpenBSD. <p> OpenBSD is freely available from our download sites. <p> The current release is <a href="76.html">OpenBSD 7.6</a>, released October 8, 2024. This is the 57th release. <p> OpenBSD is developed entirely by volunteers. The project's development environment and <a href="hackathons.html">developer events</a> are funded through contributions collected by <a href="https://www.openbsdfoundation.org">The OpenBSD Foundation</a>. Contributions ensure that OpenBSD will remain a vibrant and <a href="policy.html">free</a> operating system. </article> </main> <footer> <figure> <a href="images/rack2009.jpg"> <img width="60" height="90" src="images/rack2009-s.png" alt="rack"></a> </figure> <aside> <hr> Associated projects: <a href="https://www.openssh.com">OpenSSH</a>, <a href="https://www.openbgpd.org">OpenBGPD</a>, <a href="https://www.rpki-client.org">rpki-client</a>, <a href="https://www.openntpd.org">OpenNTPD</a>, <a href="https://www.opensmtpd.org">OpenSMTPD</a>, <a href="https://www.openiked.org">OpenIKED</a>, <a href="https://mandoc.bsd.lv">mandoc</a>, <a href="https://www.libressl.org">LibreSSL</a> </aside> </footer>
