OpenVPN: Options error: “Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in client.ovpn:130:...
I am getting this error message (title) in the OpenVPN log file and I cannot connect to my university's VPN. The message points to an error with line 130 of the client.ovpn file. However, I don't know what exactly is wrong with it and how I should fix it. Most of my classmates are able to connect. The config files are provided by the university.
Line 130: tls-remote roadwarrior.inf.hs-anhalt.de
It has been advised that the connection may fail if the Windows firewalls are enabled. I disabled them, but I keep getting the same error message.
I would appreciate any help related to this error. Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you very much!

That particular option was deprecated and removed in OpenVPN 2.4
The new syntax is:
verify-x509-name roadwarrior.inf.hs-anhalt.de name
To solve your problem, you can try
- Meddling with the client.ovpn file and make the edit I suggested
- Telling your university IT they should support newer/current versions of OpenVPN
- Rolling back your client version to before OpenVPN 2.4
