That particular jab was pretty strange.
The very first example in the OpenVPN documentation is of a server config:
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
secret static.key
That's three lines. The client needs a "remote" entry as well. How much more terse can it get?
There are many applications with complex configuration formats, but OpenVPN is not it. It has both a simple format and good defaults. It should be an example to others!
- mosselman 6y agoIt seems like you are taking this personally. Why?
- xorcist 6y agoNot sure what you're trying to read between the lines, but it's not there intentionally. There was no sarcasm intended. OpenVPN has a terse and logical configuration language. For all the complaints that open source projects do bad UX, someone put a bit of thought into this one, and it shows.
