Bug Description
Since upgrading to groovy my openvpn connection out to our corporate is not working.
I was testing Iwd but have now reverted to wpa_supplicant.
Connection to the vpn succeeds and routing table gets setup, however no traffic is flowing over the connection and I get the following errors
nm-openvpn[4428]: Authenticate/

OK after digging further through the logs, it seems that at some point NetworkManager lost the vpn "HMAC Authentication" Cipher setting.
not sure if this was caused during the Dist upgrade or switching to IWD. I will report further on this once I upgrade second laptop to Groovy.
