2022-10-12 10:48:58 John description Downloaded ovpn file from watchguard device. Get this error in system logs: Oct 12 11:38:19 DXXXX nm-openvpn[14241]: OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server. Add the server's cipher ('AES-256-CBC') to --data-ciphers (currently 'AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305') if you want to connect to this server. Using the VPN GUI I: Went To Advanced -> Security The Cipher was already set as AES-256-CBC. Changing the value for Cipher has no impact on the error message. "Tried disable cypher negotion" but this immediately failed due to: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in [CMD-LINE]:1: ncp-disable (2.6_git) ncp-disable was depreciated in openvpn 2.5 and removed in openvpn 2.6 so I think this flag will never work.
