OpenVPN has the modes "peer2peer" or "(multi-)client to server".
The "client" mode differs from "peer2peer" only insofar as it expects
to receive confings from the server, while the "server" mode is intended
to handle multiple clients, send them configs, and so on.
If you run OpenVPN as "--server", it will also default to "--tcp-server"
if you only tell it "use TCP", because it knows that tcp-client is not
useful in OpenVPN server mode - but that's just a shortcut to ease the
config, and it can be a bit confusing, yes.
