   2 # Sample client-side OpenVPN 2.0 config file #
   3 # for connecting to multi-client server.     #
   4 #                                            #
   5 # This configuration can be used by multiple #
   6 # clients, however each client should have   #
   7 # its own cert and key files.                #
   8 #                                            #
   9 # On Windows, you might want to rename this  #
  10 # file so it has a .ovpn extension           #
