Do most commercial firewall appliances and VPN routers have OpenVPN-powered SSL VPN?

Subject: Do most commercial firewall appliances and VPN routers have OpenVPN-powered SSL VPN?


Good day from Singapore,


On 10 Nov 2022, I saw the logs from Sophos XG210 Firewall SSL VPN client for Windows. Below are a few lines from the logs.


2022-11-10 14:10:03 WARNING: Compression for receiving enabled. Compression has been used in the past to break encryption. Sent packets are not compressed unless "allow-compression yes" is also set.

2022-11-10 14:10:03 DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-128-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers (AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM). Future OpenVPN version will ignore --cipher for cipher negotiations. Add 'AES-128-CBC' to --data-ciphers or change --cipher 'AES-128-CBC' to --data-ciphers-fallback 'AES-128-CBC' to silence this warning.

2022-11-10 14:10:03 OpenVPN 2.5.6 Windows-MSVC [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [PKCS11] [AEAD] built on Apr 22 2022

2022-11-10 14:10:03 Windows version 10.0 (Windows 10 or greater) 64bit

2022-11-10 14:10:03 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1n  15 Mar 2022, LZO 2.10


Without question, this goes to show that the SSL VPN Server in Sophos XG210 firewall appliance is powered by OpenVPN.


Do most commercial firewall appliances and VPN routers have OpenVPN-powered SSL VPN? Is there an official list?


Thank you.
