            Ok - your setup as shared key.. So yeah ncp would be disabled anyway.

            Do you really have a shared key setup? That was working before.. I can fire up another 2.5 vm..

              Maybe it's an update to OpenVPN 2.5? I checked the changelog/release log a while ago and there were quite a few changes to NCP etc.?

                Well having a bit of problem setting up my lab..

                Tried to add some vlans to my 2 vms, so could route those networks over the shared key vpn.. And both are crashing with this..

                    Yep, as I thought, that's one of the new 2.5-series changes to handling ciphers and now "defaulting" to use ciphers alternative/additional to ncp-ciphers (that are to be renamed) etc. I saw quite a few small changes to config files that way. And I'm still not sure why the hell I should provide multiple ciphers via NCP or with ciphers: (now), if I control the server and roll out the clients. Just define a good working set like AES-256-GCM, SHA256, ECDH only with secp384r1 and be done with it. Bit annoying but once the UI will deal with it - not that much of my problem anymore. ;)

                      This should be all good now. It'll be in snapshots later today, or you can gitsync from a snapshot with the problem to pick up the fix.

                      It primarily affected shared key instances. When I was testing on Friday before I committed the changes that broke it, I was primarily focused on SSL/TLS configurations and didn't spot that shared key would have ended up with nothing.

                      Though also from the looks of it, the Data Ciphers (formerly known as NCP ciphers) may not have been working with shared key even before this.

                      But it should be all good now on 2.5.0.
