You seem to mix "OpenVPN GUI" (community based open source OpenVPN for Windows) [1] with "OpenVPN Connect" (OpenVPN Inc provided closed source VPN client only) [2]. These two are very different. * OpenVPN GUI is the more traditional version, where you need to get a config file and save that in the proper directory on the client to get started. * OpenVPN Connect includes a more seamless integration with OpenVPN Access Server [3] and OpenVPN Cloud [4], where you provide an appropriate server URL and user credentials and the VPN client is configured for you. This client does only support TUN devices (no TAP devices, thus no bridging). Regardless of the client, it is possible to use OpenVPN GUI with Access Server and OpenVPN Cloud, as well as using OpenVPN Connect against a most other OpenVPN based servers and services.
