Is there a CLI command or a log file or status file I can cat to see what ciphers and the like the connection is using?

The list of ciphers is this:

AES-128-GCM:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-CBC:AES-256-CBC

Would putting one of the AES-255 towards the front make the connection more secure or does order not affect the order they're negotiated?
 
Both ends must have the same ciphers at the top of the list for it to be used - it's a two-ways handshake.

The used cipher will be reported in syslog at connect time.

Note that GCM requires OpenVPN 2.4.x. Only the recent Asus 384_81xxx release has udated to 2.4 so far.

I figured out how to see it and it's aes 256 gcm. ExpressVPN for anyone interested
