Description
Is there a plan to compile OpenVPN against OpenSSL 1.1.0 branch to receive support for ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers? A lot of OpenVPN users are running the OpenVPN server/client on ARM/Embedded platforms (Routers, Mobile Phones, etc) that don't have AES acceleration. ChaCha20-Poly1305 is considered to be significantly faster on devices without AES acceleration and is a suitable replacement for AES-GCM ciphers.

Duplicate of #759 .
Work is ongoing, but is far from trivial as the OpenSSL 1.1 API is significantly different from 1.0 - patch set is about 15 patches, and about half of them are already in, rest is under review.
