Connection to VPN Server failure

[jerrysinefield]

I installed the newest version of OpenVPN for Linux yesterday and couldn't get my config file working with it. I also made sure I installed the lzo headers but I still get the same error.

admin@comp:~/openvpn$ ./openvpn /home/admin/openvpn/config/nvpn.ovpn
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /home/admin/openvpn/config/nvpn.ovpn:10: comp-lzo (2.2.1)
Use --help for more information.

I don't even understand what the error means, I've tried searching for it but to no avail, the config file looks like the following...

Code: Select all

client
dev tun
auth-user-pass
proto udp
remote 131.127.32.191 1123
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
comp-lzo
ca USA1.crt
verb 3

Can someone please help me understand what the problem is? Thanx
