I edited my OpenVPN static key, changing some of the hex bytes, but the key still connects to a remote peer which is using the original key. Is this a bug?

The 2048 bit static key is designed to be large enough to allow 512 bit encrypt, decrypt, HMAC send, and HMAC receive keys to be extracted from it. However, this key size is far too large for current conventional OpenVPN usage. OpenVPN uses the 128 bit blowfish cipher by default. It also uses the 160 bit HMAC-SHA1 as a cryptographic signature on packets to protect against tampering. Since you probably didn’t specify a key direction parameter, the encrypt/decrypt keys for bot
