I have Configured my Synology NAS as a OpenVPN Server, and have connections to it from tunnelblick on mac functioning. I am trying to configure my portable router as a auto connect client into my home network. I have installed the openvpn openssl via the command line on the router. I get a error
root@OpenWrt:~# openvpn vpn.ovpn
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in vpn.ovpn:2: tls-client (2.3.6)
Use --help for more information.
root@OpenWrt:~#
I will be the first to admit, i dont fully understand the certificates and authorization that is happening with openvpn. I just know, i took the config file from the synology server, and plopped it in the desktop app and gave it my username and password and it worked... This doesnt seem to be as friendly.
Here is said config file. Any pointers would be appreciated. I have a auth.txt file that includes the username on line 1 and the password on line 2, omitted for obvious reasons.

# The "float" tells OpenVPN to accept authenticated packets from any address,
# not only the address which was specified in the --remote option.
# This is useful when you are connecting to a peer which holds a dynamic address
# such as a dial-in user or DHCP client.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
