Hi there,
Yes! This little code snippet will improve drasticaly the strength of your OpenVPN connection while keeping very good performances. You just have to add the code available below at the end of you configuration file.
- It may not work everywhere. @Korben (Twitter) got a problem because his server didn't support ECDHE, if you can't use this configuration then try to change ECDHE by DHE in the tls-cipher parameters. It should works but it will consume more battery if you are on a mobile/laptop because it will not use Elliptic curves to make the handshake.
- You should check if your processor have AES-NI instructions. If yes then the key generation / exchange should be protected from SPA (Simple Power Analysis) and DPA (Differencial Power Analysis) attacks and AES will be a lot faster.
