** Description changed:

+ Running: Kubuntu 24.04
+ 
  As openvpn 2.5 is EOL starting July 2024 (in days) I upgraded our
  servers to 2.6
  
  I was then not able to connect to the openvpn server using Network
  Manager (2.5 server was fine)
  
  I could still connect via cli.
  
  I found the issue was the fact Network Manager has no concept of data-
  ciphers - cli connected even without a data-ciphers line.
  
  I eventually found out how to fix this (randomly)
  
  I found the netplan file associated with the vpn connection - in my case
  
  /etc/netplan/90-NM-593c9490-1bcc-4063-97e8-9a42ae7faa3c.yaml
  
  I edited it and added a line (I randomly guessed this would work)
  
-           vpn.data-ciphers:
+           vpn.data-ciphers:
  "AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305"
  
  Then applied netplan and restarted NetworkManager
  
  And now I can connect...
  
  Seeing as now any versions openvpn below 2.6 are EOL shouldn't network
  manager be fixed fairly soon ?
  
  Also if I then make any changes in Network manager to the vpn profile it
  breaks it (by removing the line)
  
  (is this an issue with sticking with Plasma 5.x also ?
  
  More info found in (this is gnome, but still network manager)
