OpenVPN: Setting advanced options
«

I have two questions concerning running an OpenVPN server.
1. What is the recommended way to set advanced options of an OpenVPN server?
I saw the „Advanced“ field in VPN –> OpenVPN -> Servers section but the description states that this field will be removed:
This option will be removed in the future due to being insecure by nature. In the mean time only full administrators are allowed to change this setting.
2. Can I connect to the shell and see the complete configuration file somewhere? (I would like to double check that all the options are set as expected)

Have a look in /var/etc/openvpn/ for the conf file for your server.
What changes are you looking to add?

@bartjsmit Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I found the configuration file in the folder.
I want to set the following options:
user nobody
group nogroup
tls-version-min 1.2
(I didn't see any fields in the ui to configure this)

Cool
, remember that the OPNsense config files are liable to be overwritten when you update
