      @MatSim:

      Thank you Jim for your efforts, if things work fine with padlock, I'd like to make a PR to the port maintainer concerning the messed up naming of the padlock patches you had to override in the openssl port.
      It doesn't seem many people use padlock -ย  otherwise that would have been fixed upstream already. ;-)

      Feel free to push that one up to FreeBSD. It was a simple fix, rename the patches and "make makesum" to update the checksum/names.

      I guess nobody goes out of their way to use the ports openssl+padlock, but it does work with the base version so people probably just use that.

          In addition to the other fixes I made, I just added some smarter code to the openvpn engine option that does better checking for not just the engines on the system but also which engines are actually usable.

          That way if something like this were to happen in the future, the VPN wouldn't have failed, it just would not have used the padlock engine.
