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.
