resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-tun

ca ca.crt # (optional) if your VPN requires client authentication cipher AES-256-CBC # If your server uses a different encryption method, change it here auth SHA256 # This must be changed to “sha512” if your server uses that algorithm comp-lzo # (optional) for data compression verb 3 # (optional) controls debugging output; increase for more verbose logging“`
