unfortunately it's not working:-(
it takes me long time to debug it on my own server and a long discussion
in this ticket:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/886
it's not possible to set
cipher          AES-256-GCM
since in this case old clients eg android client which not updated to
2.4.x are not able to connect.
