If no, what's the difference? Rather than saying there are 4 modes, I would say there's a number of different binary mode spaces: (1) point-to-point or client/server (2) TLS or static-keyed (3) UDP or TCP (4) TUN or TAP While these modes are generally independent on one another, the one unsupported combination is that client/server cannot be static-keyed.
