Public bug reported: It's no longer possible to use the cipher option in NetworkManager as it's ignored by OpenVPN; and the default list of data-ciphers is applied, making it impossible to connect to an AES-128-CBC endpoint from NetworkManager.
There does not appear any way to forward the data-ciphers config, even if I hand edited the nmconnection file to add a data-ciphers line it is ignored.
