I have the very same question!

 

What does this means?:

 

"OpenVPN > WARNING: Using --management on a TCP port WITHOUT passwords is STRONGLY discouraged and considered insecure"
 

There's some info about this here: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/commit/4db7715a3aa62f2e8d8234c1852fb141f62318e2

 

It is not recommended to use --management on a TCP port without alsoadding a password authentication, as this can easily be abused by otherusers or processes being able to connect to the managmement interface.

But, what does it means for us, Airvpn users?

I get no such warning using OpenVPN 2.4.6 on Arch without Eddie. I'm not sure what this message actually refers to, but generally passwords are not required to connect to a server with AirVPN. Instead, you can generate your own key or use the default one (unique for each user). If we should still be worried, I have no idea....

I also run manjaro (latest) and the problem also exists there. I'm just connecting through openvp for now, no errors when I do it this way.
