I have an OpenVPN server running CentOS 6, and it's running, and I have RSA-keys made and sent out to the client. Yet, when I try to connect the client to the server, it gives a couple of errors, including "process started and then immediately exited, or when I try to directly connect via the IP address, it gives me a timed out error. I checked the logs on the client, and these two separate events showed up.
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in stdin:42: 172.250.0.35 (2.1.1oOAS)

I've gone over the key configuration a dozen times, and remade the keys just in case they were wrong. Is my client-configuration messed up, or it something with the server?
