Need Help with SSL-VPN: Sophos only supports AES-CBC but openVPN for Android requires AES-GCM (CBC is deprecated)

We have several customers using Android devices and OpenVPN for Android to access their infrastructure remotely via Sophos UTM Gateways.

Since the last update, OpenVPN for Android complains about weak hash algorithms in UTM self signed certificates and CA-certificate.

This can be fixed with regenerating the SSL signing CA and all Certificates. One can use the heartbleed mitigation howto to fix this. (BTW, fix WEBadmin CA, too !).

The bigger problem is, that OpenVPN for Android complains about the AES-CBC being droped from the list of supported ciphers. Only AES-GCM ciphers are supported in the latest version.

Unfortionately, UTM 9.709 only supports CBC ciphers.

So please Sophos, help with adding GCM ciphers for SSL-VPN  to UTM software.

Thank you !

  • What about using another VPN client as an option?  You know anything like that for UTM either won't be installed because they want everyone on XG, or will come in to play so far down the road, you would have replaced it already.
