Each client should have its own certificate and key files. Note: Ensure each "\" in the directory path is replaced with "\\". This is used by the server only. Enter the path to the key with the Diffie-Hellman parameters. "Nobind" is used when clients do not need to bind to a local address or specific local port number. This is the case in most client configurations. This option prevents the reloading of keys across restarts. This option prevents the close and reopen of TUN/TAP devices across restarts. Select a cryptographic cipher. The client and server must use the same settings. Enable compression on the OpenVPN link. This must be enabled on both the client and the server.
