Set tls-cipher: yes or no?

Post by MatejKovacic » Fri Sep 15, 2017 10:29 am

Hi, I am setting up OpenVPN sever on Debian 9 (ovpn is version 2.4.0) and was about to set tls-cipher in config to prevent version rollback attacks.

However, I have heard different opinions that it is not recommended to set --tls-cipher by yourself. The argument is that "default in recent OpenVPN versions are mostly up-to-date to what is needed, and it removes the need to update this if the official recommendations changes later on. Updating OpenVPN will be enough".

I need an advice on that. What is your opinion and arguments?
