Although it wasn't easy to convince the community, `ovpn` implements
only a limited number of the data-channel features supported by the

Each feature that made it to `ovpn` was attentively vetted to
avoid carrying too much legacy along with us (and to give a clear cut to
old and probalby-not-so-useful features).


typo - probably

Notably, only encryption using AEAD ciphers (specifically
ChaCha20Poly1305 and AES-GCM) was implemented. Supporting any other
cipher out there was not deemed useful.
