Recently, one of my OpenVPN connections stopped working with every connection attempt timing out. After some debugging and research, I figured out that the reason is that OpenVPN 2.6 deprecated the "--cipher" option and replaced it with "--data-ciphers". There is an upstream bug report which tracks the issue: > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/issues/97 While there have been changes made to the code to address this issue, > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/commit/963b71a83ee18728bb3707945b327cff137b2b57 > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/commit/020ab0c4b872fa5415ed1a5e682acb3343c7b9f3 the issue doesn't seem to be resolved yet as my own experiences and the comments of other users in the above upstream bug report suggest.
