Package: network-manager-openvpn-gnome Version: 1.12.0-2 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, I am a user of an OpenVPN service which uses the AES-256-CBC cipher, meaning the --data-ciphers option needs to be used. Support for this option in the network-manager-openvpn backend was added as part of the fix for #1012664. However, the Gnome GUI (as opposed to nmcli) is still unaware of this option, and will delete it from the configuration both when creating a new connection via import of an ovpn file, as well as when editing an existing working connection, for example one that has been created from an ovpn file with nmcli. There is an upstream bug about this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/issues/110 and it has a fairly simple patch / MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/merge_requests/86 I can confirm that building network-manager-openvpn-gnome 1.12.0-2 with this patch included fixes the issue: I can correctly import an opvn config file containing data-ciphers, and I can edit an existing VPN connection containing that option without it being deleted. Looking at the lack of progress / upstream response on this issue (which I think might have to do with their desire to support older openvpn versions as well, needing more complex logic), I'm asking for this patch to be included in the Debian package for the time being.
