Openvpn app update has broken previously working profiles again

Post by rockyd »

I am using an older version of Gargoyle

1.15.X (Built 20250330-2253 git@ca9ca6a5)

Openvpn app on phone is version 3.7.1

I don't use openvpn everyday, but it seems everytime i want use it, it no longer works.

Is anyone able to still use openvpn to connect to the openvpn server in Gargoyle?

I had issues in the past with it, which I was able to solve with some edits to the profile generated by Gargoyle. None of them seem to work now.

Sorry posting about it seems to help me solve it. Even if no one responds.

For my future reference and anyone else that may need it.

I had to delete my existing client credentials in Gargoyle, and generate a new one. with the addition of the AES-256-GCM cypher.

Download the profile it generates, and edit it to leave only the following lines

client
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1194
dev tun
proto udp
remote-cert-tls server
verb 3

data-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-256-CBC

nobind

and all the stuff below, obvious to me, but maybe not to some one else that may need use this solution.


and now it works again, till some app update breaks it again.
