# Sample client-side OpenVPN 2.0 config file # | |
# for connecting to multi-client server. # | |
# # | |
# This configuration can be used by multiple # | |
# clients, however each client should have # | |
# its own cert and key files. # | |
# # | |
# On Windows, you might want to rename this # | |
# file so it has a .ovpn extension # | |

# On most systems, the VPN will not function | |

# This is an important precaution to protect against | |

# To use this feature, you will need to generate | |

# then you must also specify it here. | |
