Subject: OpenVPN-2.5.0 update procedure and idea collector

Hi all,
i am currently in the update process of the already realeased OpenVPN-
2.5.0 --> https://openvpn.net/community-downloads-2/ . The update has
been tested and worked so far also with the old default client
configuration (tested with 2.4.9 client). There are two warnings -->

1) DEPRECATED OPTION: ncp-disable. Disabling dynamic cipher negotiation
is a deprecated debug feature that will be removed in OpenVPN 2.6

2) WARNING: --topology net30 support for server configs with IPv4 pools
will be removed in a future release. Please migrate to --topology
subnet as soon as possible.

in the server log but it nevertheless works flawlessly.

Am working currently on an "Advanced Encryption Settings" page which
includes currently four new directives --data-ciphers (data channel
encryption), --data-ciphers-fallback (data-channel encryption for
clients <= OpenVPN-2.3.9), --tls-ciphers (control channel TLSv2 only)
and --tls-ciphersuites (control channel >= TLSv3) all options are
explained in here --> 
https://build.openvpn.net/man/openvpn-2.5/openvpn.8.html
, which works here currently and looks like this:

And the page itself:

You can see also the default settings, were i need also your ideas and
comments for may better defaults.
On the page itself is also more planned but to not overload this here
now, i wanted to go now a two step procedure with this update.

1) Push OpenVPN-2.5.0 update with the new ciphers and HMACs for regukar
global settings for RW and N2N. A overview of the new crypto can be
found in here -->
https://community.ipfire.org/t/openvpn-2-5-development-version/2173 .
2) I would push the "Advanced Encryption settings" development as seen
above then as one patch <-- this would also eliminate the first warning
causing --ncp-disable since we can delete this option then.

Everything else would come detached from this.

Some feedback might be nice.

Best,

Erik
