Re: openvpn and AES-256-GCM

No. Support for AES-256-GCM, AES-128-GCM and CHACHA20-POLY1305 compatible with standard OpenVPN implementation should be added. It is big problem for me. AES-GCM (128/192/256) was added to RouterOS 7.8 in February of 2023 (only after they had added it to just about everything else that uses encrypt...

I swear I've tested this in the past and failover worked just fine between multiple FWD / forward-to static entries, but this morning a customer's primary DNS server went offline and remote sites that were configured to use t...

Re: IPSec error payload missing: ID_R

Remote-id=ignore simply skips the ID checking against remote peer's certificate. Responder should always send the ID_r payload as per rfc7296.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7296#appendix-C.2
The remote-id=ignore is only used for certificate based authentication... not PSK.
