You can already implement the changes mentioned in point 2 now, or you do it together with the mandatory change mentioned in point 1 on April 12th.
All these changes are tracked and explained in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/151492.
Thanks for collaborating! If you have any questions, please let me know.
Seeing some weird behaviour here - I put the changes in place, and I can connect, but I get prompted for a password by NetworkManager (TW/GNOME). I can enter any string for the password (just tested with a value that I have never used anywhere as a password), and it's accepted and the connection starts up. If I then disconnect, I cannot reconnect. systemctl status NetworkManager reports: --- snip --- Apr 23 11:46:06 TheEarth nm-openvpn[33438]: Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.
