Hi all,

We have got some OpenVPN connections with different VPN servers.

In the OpenVPN GUI entry, I've imported the original .ovpn file and it selected "Cipher" and set it to "AES-256-CBC".

Using the old OpenVPN 2.5.5, this works well.

If I upgrade to OpenVPN 2.6.14, I receive this message in OpenVPN and it fails to connect:

DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-256-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305). OpenVPN ignores --cipher for cipher negotiations.

If I go to the Additional Parameters and add this line at the top, it works without any issues:

data-ciphers AES-256-CBC

In my .ovpn, data-ciphers was not present, only "cipher AES-256-CBC"

Is it possible to replace the cipher drop down or add the data-ciphers option?

Thanks!

Sander

Hi,

try to edit your ovpn config, and add this to a new line above <ca>:

tls-cipher "DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=0"

It should work then?
