Hi
I have a TP-Link C2600 with latest firmware which supports Open VPN. I have generated the openvpn config file and exported the file to my laptop. I have used itunes to sync file to my iphone 6s openvpn app but keep getting the following error.
option_error: option 'cipher' must have at least 2 arguments
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

does the error happen at connection time?
If yes, could you please paste here your log from the beginning of the connection (i.e. from the "-------- OpenVPN Start -----" line)?

No, The error occurs at profile import.
Today I have tried the ovpn file on an android phone and got the same error message.

I checked a known good profile and good see a difference.
First part of my ovpn file:-
client
dev tun
proto udp
float
nobind
cipher
comp-lzo adaptive
resolv-retry infinite
persist-key
persist-tun
remote MYIPADDRESS 1194
The other ovpn from a working profile had additional information at 'cipher':-
ncp-cipher AES-128-GCM:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-CBC:AES-256-CBC
I added this to my profile and then i could successfully import the profile. Looks like a bug in the TP-Link firmware.
Thanks
