With the update to OpenVPN 2.6, the obsolete `cipher` option has been removed.
If your OpenVPN client configuration no longer works, try replacing the `cipher` parameter with `data-ciphers` in your file.
Try the following change in the configuration file:
Replace the line:
cipher AES-256-CBC
with the following three lines:
#cipher AES-256-CBC
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305
data-ciphers-fallback AES-256-CBC
Restart the VPN on the phone.
If the VPN still does not work, further measures may be necessary on the client and/or server side.
In this case, talk to your system administrator.
