Does iOS app support any ciphers w/Elliptic Curve?

[locusofself]

I have a requirement to set up an OpenVPN server that serves iOS clients, with the highest level or crypto possible regardless of performance.

Looks like Elliptic Curve stuff was merged into the 2.4 branch of the OpenVPN *community* software if I am not mistaken,

What about the iOS OpenVPN app - if no EC/ECDHE - what is the strongest cipher the iOS app support?

Thanks !

I have the same question. I'm getting the following error when I try to use ecdh-curve secp521r1.

soon a new release for iOS will be released. It will ship mbedTLS 2.6.0 and therefore will support several new ciphers, including EC*
