Hi,

only noticed in the logs now (380.68_4) some odd inconsistencies between local and remote

openvpn[6806]: WARNING: 'link-mtu' is used inconsistently, local='link-mtu 1554', remote='link-mtu 1570'
Oct 16 18:19:31 openvpn[6806]: WARNING: 'cipher' is used inconsistently, local='cipher BF-CBC', remote='cipher AES-256-CBC'
Oct 16 18:19:31 openvpn[6806]: WARNING: 'keysize' is used inconsistently, local='keysize 128', remote='keysize 256'

What to do to be consistent between local and remote, particularly making sure that local is not using/forcing weak settings on the connection, assuming that local = my router and remote = VPN gateway?
 
Suppose that the OVPN version reported in the router log is the one actually running on the router, which is confusing as there is no mentioning of OVPN in the firmware's changelog

OpenVPN 2.4.3 arm-unknown-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Oct 4 2017

I trust that the aforementioned inconsistencies did not appear to be happening with the previous firmware/OVPN 2.4.2
