FEDORA-2022-31409e24bc created by dsommers 2 years ago for Fedora 36

Update to latest upstream OpenVPN 2.5.7.

This release can resolve connectivity issues after upgrading to Fedora 36, which ships with OpenSSL 3. Use these options: --tls-cert-profile insecure and --providers legacy default if you experience connectivity issues.

More details: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/release/2.5/Changes.rst

Does NOT work for me. Downgrading to 2.5.6 works again fine. Problem might be similar as in bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2092800

Did also NOT work for me against a 2.4.9 server. Needed to do one of two things: either

  • pass --providers legacy default to allow (weak) BF-CBC, or
  • explicitly set AES-256-GCM cipher in the client.

Otherwise, connecting to that server will fail.

This contains more related details as well: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2093069

@thm How do you start your client? Via the openvpn-client@.service systemd unit or NetworkManager?

Input and in the BZs here will be brought up with the upstream community as well

Upstream has sent a patch to the mailing list to be considered: https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/2504/

I've put together a few quick test builds

F36: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=87830798

Rawhide: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=87830820

If some of you can do a quick test of those build to see if that helps, I can get a 2.5.7-2 prepared later this weekend.

An updated 2.5.7-2 build is now on the way into updates-testing. Please test this build and give the appropriate votes. Since this update caused so much issues and regressions, the 2.5.7-2 build requires more +1s than I normally require.
