Based on the fact that OpenVPN 2.5 removes the
BF-CBC
cipher from the default configuration, I expected Fedora to update its ciphers line in the RC3 of the package too which they didn't.Upon investigation on why Fedora hard-codes the ciphers in the service file, I found out that
This means that the values of
cipher
andncp-ciphers
we already specify in our server config will overwrite the command line options from the service file, making thesed
command unnecessary.Source: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/New_default_cipher_in_OpenVPN
