This update makes it possible to connect to VPNs where the "cipher" (now "data-ciphers") option is needed, as long as the connection is manually modified. This part works great.
The Gnome settings interface however, still looks for the "cipher" option, so this part does not work. The settings interface cannot see the specified data-ciphers setting and trying to set it from the interface, sets the cipher option instead, rendering the connection unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1991493 Title: Data ciphers are not properly configured with openvpn 2.6 Status in NetworkManager-OpenVPN: New Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server. So basically some servers won't be supported anymore because unsupported '--cipher' option is used instead of '--data-ciphers' A fix is available at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager- openvpn/-/merge_requests/46 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1991493/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
