OpenVPN: Merlin Version 380.66: Settings Clarification ...?

[salieri]

Hi,

I've done quite a bit of reading / research on setting up an OpenVPN server through my Asus Router and there are a few questions that still remain. Hoping to better understand so I set this up properly.

1) What are the distinct differences between these 4 options (TLS control channel security)?

​

2) What is this exactly? When I search for this, I get a bunch of code examples. Is this in relation to the above since this option is below it? If not, what is the difference between "Auth digest" and "TLS control channel security?"

​

Thanks in advance for helping me understand this better...

1) See the documetnation on --tls-auth (option 2, 3 and 4) and --tls-crypt (the fifth option)
2) See the documentation on --auth
