New ciphers in OpenSense
«

Hello!
The question is: how can I add support for Russian GOST encryption algorithms to OpenSense?
What steps need to be taken for this?
Maybe someone has ready-made images for this.

I bet this would be hard and I doubt anyone has done this:
1. Current OpnSense versions have dropped support for LibreSSL and rely on OpenSSL 1.1.1.
2. OpenSSL has dropped GOST support since 1.1.0 (

) - and for a good reason.
Before you bother to look into this, have a look at the cryptanalysis section here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST_(block_cipher)#Cryptanalysis_of_GOST
- essentially, GOST is a weak cipher.
