Why do I get this missing cipher error message below:
2024-10-11 20:51:59 DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-128-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305). OpenVPN ignores --cipher for cipher negotiations. 2024-10-11 20:51:59 Note: Kernel support for ovpn-dco missing, disabling data channel offload. 2024-10-11 20:51:59 OpenVPN 2.6.9 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] [DCO] 2024-10-11 20:51:59 library versions: OpenSSL 3.2.2-dev , LZO 2.10 2024-10-11 20:51:59 DCO version: N/A 2024-10-11 20:51:59 WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled.

VPNGate and autovpn2 client works with OpenVPN 2.4 cipher 'AES-128-CBC' The Fix is to fallback from 2.6.x to 2.4.x :(
Why do I sometimes get
[autovpn2] rewriting config filestuck in a loop when I use country code JP?
The parser got a bad or corrupt config file for said country from the servers CSV List.
You can also use the vpngate-x86_64.AppImage utility to fetch the list of connectable countries.
The default USA (US 🇺🇸) servers seems to be slow to me, which country is the fastest?
In "my" seat-of-the-pants testing, Japan (JP 🇯🇵) or Korea Republic (KR 🇰🇷) servers seem to be "faster".
Can I change the default country code?
Yes, you can change the default ISO 3166-2 standard code in the script.
Change Line 21 and Line 45 to the country code (Uppercase) of your choice.
How can I get a list of Connetable countries without goinng to vpngate.net website.
You can use the vpngate-x86_64.AppImage utility to go fetch the connectable list of countries.
How to fix my DNS leak?
Pick one of these free and public DNS Servers.
This is a technical question, WHY Python 2.7???! It's EOL dude! 😕
Haha, The truth is, I didn't want to fight (choosing my battles;) with Python3's bytes to string conversions for this one-off script.
Personally, I compile my legacy Python 2.7 standalone scripts to a Linux ELF 64-bit LSB executable using Nuitka and Appimagekit.
The created binary executes independent of a Python installation.
A precompiled x86_64 autovpn2 binary can be found under releases.
What's with the name and the "2"?
I wrote this as a drop in replacement for the original autovpn written in Go, that's now in Github's Digital Haven.
The "2" is to not conflict with the original script if installed on said system.
- Note: autovpn2 defaults to the US servers. The Japan or Korea (JP, KR) servers are preferred.
