Subject: [PATCH] Change the default cipher to AES-256-GCM for server
b931012
 configurations
b931012
b931012
This change makes the server use AES-256-GCM instead of BF-CBC as the default
b931012
cipher for the VPN tunnel.  To avoid breaking existing running configurations
b931012
defaulting to BF-CBC, the Negotiable Crypto Parameters (NCP) list contains
b931012
the BF-CBC in addition to AES-CBC.  This makes it possible to migrate
b931012
existing older client configurations one-by-one to use at least AES-CBC unless
b931012
the client is updated to v2.4 (which defaults to upgrade to AES-GCM automatically)

[Update 2022-06-10]
2bfe48c
The BF-CBC reference is now removed as of Fedora 36 and newer.  The Blowfish
2bfe48c
cipher is no longer available by default in OpenSSL 3.0.  It can be enabled
2bfe48c
via the legacy provider in OpenSSL 3.0, but BF-CBC is deprecated and should
2bfe48c
not be used any more.  OpenVPN 2.4 and newer will always negotiate a stronger
2bfe48c
cipher by default and older OpenVPN releases are no longer supported upstream.
