      I have recently setup a site-site L2 TAP VPN for a demo project, where the two end devices had to use fixed IP's in same subnet. This is is all working properly, however as the tunnelled data traffic is already IPSEC encrypted, I want to disable the encryption on the OpenVPN tunnel.

      Here's my current settings. Are these correct ?

        @pwood999 can't you just scroll down and select none as the only option?

          @johnpoz OK will try that. Should I do the same on both server & client, or is server sufficient ?

            @pwood999 I would think if using ncp to neg the encryption, it would only need to be set on the server. I have never setup openvpn without encryption ;)

              Server and clients all have to agree on a common cipher, so they all need to have 'none' chosen as the only option in the data cipher list and fallback cipher.
