+INTRODUCTION
+============
+
+OpenVPN is an open source VPN daemon by James Yonan. Because OpenVPN
+tries to be a universal VPN tool offering a great deal of flexibility,
+there are a lot of options on this manual page. If you're new to
+OpenVPN, you might want to skip ahead to the examples section where you
+will see how to construct simple VPNs on the command line without even
+needing a configuration file.
+
+Also note that there's more documentation and examples on the OpenVPN
+web site: https://openvpn.net/
+
+And if you would like to see a shorter version of this manual, see the
+openvpn usage message which can be obtained by running **openvpn**
+without any parameters.
+
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible VPN daemon. OpenVPN supports
+SSL/TLS security, ethernet bridging, TCP or UDP tunnel transport through
+proxies or NAT, support for dynamic IP addresses and DHCP, scalability
+to hundreds or thousands of users, and portability to most major OS
+platforms.
+
+OpenVPN is tightly bound to the OpenSSL library, and derives much of its
+crypto capabilities from it.
+
+OpenVPN supports conventional encryption using a pre-shared secret key
+**(Static Key mode)** or public key security **(SSL/TLS mode)** using
+client & server certificates. OpenVPN also supports non-encrypted
+TCP/UDP tunnels.
+
+OpenVPN is designed to work with the **TUN/TAP** virtual networking
+interface that exists on most platforms.
+
+Overall, OpenVPN aims to offer many of the key features of IPSec but
+with a relatively lightweight footprint.
+
+
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+OpenVPN allows any option to be placed either on the command line or in
+a configuration file. Though all command line options are preceded by a
+double-leading-dash ("--"), this prefix can be removed when an option is
+placed in a configuration file.
