If you are getting a failure when you go to sign into OpenVPN, you may need to update a setting to allow it to securely connect after an update from this weekend.

When you right click on the OpenVPN to go to Connect, go a few down to Edit Config

Then it brings up a Notepad file with a list of a lot of values. Line 20 (or thereabouts) has the line

cipher AES-128-CBC

Change it to:

data-ciphers AES-128-CBC

so it’s prepending data- (with no spaces and a dash between the two words) and then making it plural.

Then go to File, Save, then close that window and try reconnecting to the VPN
