Hi Arne,
This thread has a could days but I'm testing the version 2.5-beta2 and I'm
getting the following error:
2020-08-29 16:02:53 us=643016 OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher
with server. Add the server's cipher ('BF-CBC') to --data-ciphers
(currently 'BF-CBC') if you want to connect to this server.
I have added the data-ciphers and also the data-ciphers-fallback to the
client's config file and in all attempts I'm getting the same error message.
data-ciphers BF-CBC
data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC
I know that you guys are trying to get rid of the BF-CBC but my question
is, should it still work if we set these parameters in the config file or
am I missing or doing something wrong? :-)
