Seems to be working for me too.

I noticed a bit of copy-pasta in the manual updates:

address@hidden @acronym{3DES} cipther
+The @acronym{RC4} stream cipher is believed by some to be of low
+quality and may allow eavesdropping by third parties.

Perhaps something along the lines of:

@item @acronym{3DES} cipher
The @acronym{3DES} stream cipher provides at most 112 bits of
effective security, which is considered to be towards the low end.
