Description

Hi, I have a surface Pro X. I can't connect on Windows 11 on arm64.

Viscosity actually warned me about being on insider builds and told me to use the legacy interface.

On openvpn 2.5.3 arm64 verison, when running with only the cert

2021-07-17 20:16:01 DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-128-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-128-GCM). Future OpenVPN version will ignore --cipher for cipher negotiations. Add 'AES-128-CBC' to --data-ciphers or change --cipher 'AES-128-CBC' to --data-ciphers-fallback 'AES-128-CBC' to silence this warning.

To clarify, Viscosity did work when I used the legacy interface.
However I am not aware of such an option on the OpenVPN app. Since Viscosity uses OpenVPN is why I mentioned it,

Looks like the same issue as the one Gert found (is there a trac ticket for that?), and fixed in master and 2.5 (will be in 2.5.4). See https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/1871/

Essentially, while reading the management password, the process is failing to write the prompt to stderr because of an old bug which did not error on previous versions of Windows.

Great, thanks for letting me know.
This is out of the scope of the question, https://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots/
I do not see any recent builds. If you or anyone knows how to find them(without having to compile it myself), that would be great. If not I do not mind waiting either for the official 2.5.4 release.

I can confirm that this is only happening with the ARM64 build in my Surface Pro X. I have another machine, with the exact same build number of Windows 11, but x64, and this bug does not appear.

I cannot reproduce this on ASUS ARM64 Snapdragon, Windows 10 21H1 (19043).

We have GitHub? Actions artifacts, could you try those binaries? https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/suites/3620135725/artifacts/87532262

Milestone: release 2.5.4
Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

We could reproduce this in the meantime and have put out 2.5.4 that works on ARM (I601+I602 have other bugs, so install I603 or I604, or 2.5.5).

Closing that ticket now, since it has a fix.
