Hi there,

The --tls-remote was removed in OpenVPN 2.4, and was already marked as
DEPRECATED in OpenVPN 2.3. From OpenVPN 2.3's manpage:

Please  also note: This option is now deprecated.  It will be removed
either in OpenVPN v2.4 or v2.5.  So please make sure you support the new
X.509  name formatting  described  with  the  --compat-names option as
soon as possible by updating your configurations to use
--verify-x509-name instead.

IMHO this should have been fixed in network-manager-openvpn before 2.4
arrived.

Regards,

Alberto
