Thanks again for your explanations: I finally figured out to correct my git send-email configuration `smtpencryption` to be set to "ssl" (instead of "tls": The latter caused a hang that I debugged for way too long :-(. Maybe worth while adding to some FAQ for newbies? The guidance at https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/git-send-email.txt was clearly wrong.

Please let me know if that submission now arrived and meets your requirements.

The commit message is still not great. Something I would have used instead:

Allow non-standard EC groups with OpenSSL3

OpenSSL3 no longer uses the NID to identify TLS groups, instead it uses
names. This allows also to use groups from external provider. It also recognises secp256r1 as the same group as prime256v1.




One further question: Is there interest on your side to add more/better support for quantum-safe crypto to OpenVPN?

Depends on what changes you are proposing. There is certainly some interest but depends on what exactly we are talking about.

easyrsa isn't geared for that right now (let alone suitably named :-), but openssl3 (with our oqsprovider) can generate quantum-safe PKI (CA and client certs) without problems.

Easyrsa has become also separate project. Development and maintainance of easyrsa have become quite slow in the last years.

Quantum-safe key exchange works in OpenVPN just fine when the PR lands.
