OpenVPN Data Cipher CHACHA20-POLY1305

I have noticed extensive OpenVPN changes in the last firmwares. I was hoping for the support of CHACHA20-POLY1305 data cipher for OpenVPN (as wireguard). Do you plan to support this in the near future? We hope to gain a speed advantage from it (RUTX10, RUTX11).

Hello,

OpenVPN already contains support for CHACHA20-POLY1305:


I checked, and it’s present on both RUTM and RUTX devices with firmware 07.11. Could you clarify if you’re facing any issues with this cipher?

Best regards,

You are absolutely right, thank you for checking and your quick feedback.
After the firmware update, I had accidentally looked under the “Encryption” dropdown instead of “Data Ciphers”… Great!!
