Public bug reported: My TPlink router is not very configurable. I can connect to it using `--data-ciphers-fallback AES-128-CBC`, but this seems to be impossible to configure in the network manager.
This is similar to the bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1993634 which states that --data-ciphers has been added upstream in debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012664), yet there is no mention of --data-ciphers-fallback. If I try to manually edit the .yaml file in /etc/netplan/, by adding the line `vpn.data-ciphers-fallback: "AES-128-CBC"` I get the following error in /var/sys/syslog: 2024-08-26T11:27:38.979379+02:00 esperanza NetworkManager[1421097]: <warn> [1724664458.9792] vpn[0x5859c6179920,f01dbf90-536f-4b22-8d5a-13e26b34993f,"TPlink_config"]: connect: failed to connect interactively: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Error.BadArguments: property “data-ciphers-fallback” invalid or not supported' Without that line, I get this error: 2024-08-26T11:15:31.909947+02:00 esperanza nm-openvpn[1416267]: OPTIONS ERROR: failed to negotiate cipher with server.
