    So i got several pfsense instances version 23.05 and 23.05.1
    on all of them i got openvpn-client-export package installed (ver 1.9_1)
    if i upgrade 1.9_1 to 1.9.2 (openvpn also upgrades with this package) my openvpn server becomes broken (Data encryption Algorithms are lost/gone)

    >>> Upgrading pfSense-pkg-openvpn-client-export... 
    Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
    Fetching meta.conf: 
    pfSense-core repository is up to date.
    Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
    Fetching meta.conf: 
    pfSense repository is up to date.
    All repositories are up to date.
    The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
    
    Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
    	openvpn: 2.6.2 -> 2.6.7_1 [pfSense]
    	openvpn-client-export: 2.6.5 -> 2.6.7 [pfSense]
    	pfSense-pkg-openvpn-client-export: 1.9_1 -> 1.9.2 [pfSense]
    

    i 'am unable to make any changes to openvpn server
    pic
    the openvpn server itself keeps working and accepts connection until rebooted.
    if i reboot my pfsense, openvpn server will not start at all, so i have to upgrade my pfsense from 23.05 to 23.09 which bring all algorithms back and openvpn server back online.
    strange thing is that i got selected chachapoly20, aes256-gcm, aes128-gcm and if upgrade my 23.05 to 23.09 they all remain in place.

    p.s. on 23.05 (and .1) with pkg-openvpn-client-export: 1.9_1 the system was running for a long time, and changes to openvpn server were possible (no issues).
