Hello,everyone,there is a problem, I followed all the instructions in this link:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-18-04
, but I can’t connect, what could be the problem? Error below:
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in client1.ovpn:37: :proto (2.4.7) Use --help for more information.

Hi @lowwro,
The good thing in this case is, that the error is helpful. It seems like you are trying to use an option proto which is actually not a OpenVPN option, so you need to either remove it or make it a comment by making it
#proto
The line of the error seems to be 37.
