remote <host>
The hostname/IP of OpenVPN server when operating as a client. Enter
either the DNS hostname or the static IP address of the server.
Port
The UDP/TCP port of the server.
Keepalive
Keepalive uses ping to keep the OpenVPN session alive. 'Keepalive 10
120' pings every 10 seconds and assumes the remote peer is down if no
ping has been received over a 120 second time period.
http-proxy <proxy
server> <proxy port #>
If a proxy is required to access the server, enter the proxy server DNS
name or IP and port number.
ca <file name>
Enter the CA certificate file name and location.
The same CA certificate file can be used by the server and all clients.
Note: Ensure each ‘\’ in the directory path is replaced with ‘ \\’. For
example, c:\openvpnkeys\ca.crt will become c:\\openvpnkeys\\ca.crt
cert <file name>
Enter the client’s or server’s certificate file name and location.
Each client should have its own certificate and key files.
Note: Ensure each ‘\’ in the directory path is replaced with ‘ \\’.

Each client should have its own certificate and key files.

dh <file name>
This is used by the server only.
