I must preface this by saying I have only used OpenVPN for testing at home and I am a novice but I haven't been able to find sufficient answers scouring through the web and this forum. I am attempting to get a connection working that has only worked on the iPhone app but not from two different Windows 11 systems.
On the newest version of OpenVPN gui I am getting an error with the logs:
[olog]2023-02-02 10:27:32 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.

On anything prior to 2.6 I am forever connecting although I did not save logs from those.
My config file is:
[oconf=
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 74.93.191.77 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 3
]
I was also looking to use a different TAP adapter as each time I've attempted to connect to the VPN it has rendered the Tap adapter unusable for another program, I've had to remove it completely and reinstall...
Any help with all this is super appreciated, I am struggling
