i think it is this one. I would suggest looking into the 2.0 release notes and
the config files there. Also take a look at the easy-rsa scripts.

After locating some more useful docs, I've reverted to UDP.

http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html points out that TCP encapsualtion of TCP is a abd idea in general thanks to the retransmission algorithms.

This didn't fix the problem, however. I re-read the release notes and found that, currently, 2.0 requires TLS and doesn't work with --secret at all. Not sure how I managed to miss that the first time round.

My intention was to use TLS once I'd established the service. The release notes don't say whether this is a permanent change for 2.0 or just something that has yet to be done.

Can I petition for a change to the misleading error message for now?
