This options allows the user to specify a network device the OpenVPN process should use when making a connection or binding to an address. This translates in setting the SO_BINDTODEVICE option to the corresponding socket (on Linux).
When for example using VRFs on Linux [0] this allows making connections using the non-default VRF and having the tun/tap interface in the default VRF. Thanks to David Ahern (Cumulus Networks) for insights on this.
