[Bug 1567717] Re: openvpn supports many cipher suites that it probably shouldn't

 

Thanks Christian; I think we can probably close this due to "The
--cipher and --auth options are not negotiable, so I see less risk
there" in the upstream ticket. There's doubtless higher-priority things
to work on than preventing poor security configurations.

Thanks

  I suspect everything after the first mention of RC4 should be removed (inclusive of rc4, of course).
