I want to ask,
whether the number of bits of encryption can be changed?
eg 32, 64, 128, 256, 512?
# Select a cryptographic cipher.
# This config item must be copied to
# the client config file as well.
;cipher BF-CBC # Blowfish (default)
;cipher AES-128-CBC # AES
;cipher DES-EDE3-CBC # Triple-DES

Re: encryption
try running
as stated, a CBC cipher is recommended; if you use AES as the encryption routines you can choose AES-128-CBC, AES-192-CBC or AES-256-CBC - that should be sufficient for most purposes
Code: Select all
openvpn --show-ciphers
The following ciphers and cipher modes are available
for use with OpenVPN. Each cipher shown below may be
used as a parameter to the --cipher option. The default
key size is shown as well as whether or not it can be
changed with the --keysize directive. Using a CBC mode
is recommended.
