Hello
I've noticed the default encryption in the Windows application is AES256-CBC.
From what I can see on the web, AES256-GCM replaced AES256-CBC with OpenVPN > 2.4 , is less ressources consuming and also less vulnerable to some kind of attacks. I can't state these myself, as said it's obon what I've found.
But if all of these are true, is there any reason or preference to use AES256-CBC as default choice?
Is there any drawback to use AES256-GCM instead AES256-CBC with perfect-privacy?
Thank you.
