I think users generally should get as few questions/options as possible. It may be switches that an advanced sys-admin can use to enable/display such options. But the default experience should be as little questions as possible. All users wants is to get started ASAP, and in most cases they already have a config file provided by someone (if OpenVPN haven't been installed for them). We just need to have the most sane defaults covering the vast majority of users. OpenVPN v2.4 will be a massive change on the Windows side, so upgrading can have some pitfalls - and admins uses to v2.3 and older will need to adjust. We just need to try to avoid exposing these pitfalls all together, not provide them more options. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Technologies, Inc
