As I already responded to on the -devel list [1]:

Plus, also see the information on the Red Hat bugzilla, where a patch
was suggested:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1369260>

This patch cannot be accepted as it is, as that will break connectivity
if the server or clients run in non-fips mode - as it removes support
for algorithms used by default.

As already said, OpenVPN needs to be adopted to support FIPS mode.  Plus
the system requiring FIPS mode needs to be configured as well:
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Security_Guide/chap-Federal_Standards_and_Regulations.html#sect-Federal_Information_Processing_Standard>


This is not something we will look into before v2.4 is released.  But if
you are impatient, please join #openvpn-devel on FreeNode and we can
discuss what you need to consider when implementing FIPS mode to be
accepted upstream.
