UTM - OpenVPN Client - AES-GCM

IT-Admin007

So far, SSL VPN under the UTM has worked without any problems with the OpenVPN client.
In the meantime, OpenVPN 2.6RC1 has been released, which requires AES-GCM ciphers. Only with a change in the config file the OpenVPN client can still connect.
e.g.
---
data-ciphers AES-128-CBC
data-ciphers-fallback AES-128-CBC
---

It is a pity that the ciphers are not unlocked under SSL VPN.
Under IPSec they are available. So it is probably a purely strategic decision by Sophos not to enable them under SSL VPN.

    Hallo and welcome to the UTM Community!

    The following results in a "cipher AES-128-CBC" line in the SSL VPN config:

         

    Are you saying that "data-ciphers" is required in theSSL VPN client now instead of just "ciphers?"

    Cheers - Bob

    I think it was a roundabout way to poke the bear as to why there is no AES-GCM cipher in their software and when it was ever going to be implemented in UTM, lol.
