I've done some more investigating and reading of https://sweet32.info/ [^] and the OpenVPN site. It looks like the changelog for 2.3.13, https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=22742, [^] limits the reneg-bytes to 64MB anyway which would make upgrading OpenVPN not so necessary.

I've also posted a question requesting clarifying of the reneg-bytes unit of measure https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23490&e=1 [^]

Link fixed to my post in the OpenVPN forum in the previous comment.

Summary:
- reneg-bytes should be 64000000 and not 64000 (was a typo on their wiki)
- Upgrade to 2.4 all round if you can.

openvpn-2.4.1-2.el7 has made its way through to epel-unverified. Can this now be pushed into a clearos repo?
