Hello, I had a doubt about the cipher none config in OpenVPN. I realized that OpenVPN initiates an SSL handshake, even if I choose not to use any encryption-decryption operations through the cipher none config. It chooses a particular cipher in the handshake as well.
Is it supposed to happen this way? If yes then why does this exactly happen? What is the significance of the SSL/TLS handshake and negotiating a session, if I am not using any encryption? -- Regards Shubham Chauhan 2013099 B.Tech CSE
