Are these all options/parameters found at openvpn --help applicable to the server's *.conf file and the client's *ovpn file?
How do i know which option is only used for the server or the client's config?

Does the client's config need to match the server's config? or its possible to set a different option, say, cipher BF-CBC at the server and cipher none at the client?

read the openvpn manual page (either 'man openvpn' or go to http://openvpn.net/index.php/manuals/42 ... pn-22.html

most options apply to both client and server configurations; the option you mention, 'cipher' MUST match on both client and server otherwise you will not be able to connect.
