OpenVPN breakage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Today OpenVPN was updated from 2.5.6-1 to 2.5.7-1 and my VPN connection
broke.  The log says:

nm-openvpn[8655]: --cipher is not set. Previous OpenVPN version defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.
nm-openvpn[8655]: OpenVPN 2.5.7 x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on May 31 2022
nm-openvpn[8655]: library versions: OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022, LZO 2.10
nm-openvpn[8655]: NOTE: the current --script-security setting may allow this configuration to call user-defined scripts
nm-openvpn[8655]: Cipher BF-CBC not supported
nm-openvpn[8655]: Exiting due to fatal error

2.5.6-1 says almost exactly the same, apart from the last two lines,
and doesn't break.

Adding 'cipher=AES-256-GCM' to the NetworkManager keyfile for the
VPN got it working again.  The advice about 'data-ciphers-fallback'
and 'data-ciphers' is bogus because NetworkManager doesn't know about
those options.

Not happy,

Ron
