Hi, According to Wikipedia: The main external difference with ChaCha20 is its 64 byte (512 bit) block size, in comparison to 16 bytes (128 bit) with both AES-128 and AES-256. The larger block size enables higher performance on modern CPUs and allows for larger streams before the 32 bit counter overflows. Why OpenVPN does not support ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption? Thank you. _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
