oVPN fails after 7100 crash
-
7100 config got corrupted and pfSense had to be reinstalled. Since then their OpenVPN server has failed to work.
I just created a new user and exported a Viscosity config. The log was:2020-11-29 12:11:37: Viscosity Mac 1.9 (1556) 2020-11-29 12:11:37: Viscosity OpenVPN Engine Started 2020-11-29 12:11:37: Running on macOS 10.15.7 2020-11-29 12:11:37: --------- 2020-11-29 12:11:37: State changed to Connecting 2020-11-29 12:11:37: Checking reachability status of connection... 2020-11-29 12:11:37: Connection is reachable. Starting connection attempt. 2020-11-29 12:11:37: Options error: The command "data-ciphers" or one of its parameters is invalid for this version of OpenVPN (2.4.9). Please edit the connection, make sure the command is valid, and try again. 2020-11-29 12:11:37: Full command: data-ciphers AES-128-GCM 2020-11-29 12:11:37: The OpenVPN subsystem could not be started. 2020-11-29 12:11:37: State changed to Disconnected (OpenVPN System Failure)
Anyone know how to fix this? I've tried building new oVPN servers on the box to no avail.
Thanks
