## Fields
### mode
OpenVPN session mode, one of `tls` or `static_key`.
`tls` is used by default.
`static_key` is a deprecated OpenVPN mode without a TLS control channel or
forward secrecy. It is retained as an explicit compatibility option for
immutable enterprise VPN servers. It does not use `tls`, username/password
authentication, pull options, or TLS renegotiation options.
### server
OpenVPN server address.
Either `server` or `servers` is required.
Conflict with `servers`.
### server_port
OpenVPN server port.
Required when `server` is set.
### servers
List of OpenVPN servers.
The client tries the servers in order and moves to the next server when a connection fails.
Either `server` or `servers` is required.
Conflict with `server`.
### servers.server
==Required==
OpenVPN server address.
### servers.server_port
==Required==
OpenVPN server port.
### servers.network
OpenVPN transport network for this server, one of `udp` or `tcp`.
The top-level `network` is used by default.
### remote_random
Randomize the `servers` order before connecting.
Disabled by default.
### network
Default OpenVPN transport network, one of `udp` or `tcp`.
`udp` is used by default.
This value applies to `server` and to `servers` entries without their own `network`.
### address
Local IPv4 and IPv6 tunnel prefixes.
At least one address is required in `static_key` mode. In TLS mode these
addresses are optional and can be replaced by addresses pulled from the
server.
### peer_address
IPv4 tunnel peer address and VPN gateway.
Required when an IPv4 `address` is configured in `static_key` mode.
### peer_address_ipv6
IPv6 tunnel peer address and VPN gateway.
Required when an IPv6 `address` is configured in `static_key` mode.
### topology
Tunnel topology, one of `net30`, `p2p`, or `subnet`.
The topology pulled from the server is used when empty in TLS mode.
### username
Username for OpenVPN username/password authentication.
Only available in TLS mode.
### password
Password for OpenVPN username/password authentication.
### auth_retry
Behavior after username/password authentication fails, one of `none`, `nointeract`, or `interact`.
`none` is used by default and treats a permanent authentication failure as terminal.
`nointeract` and `interact` allow authentication retries.
### static_challenge
Static challenge text shown when requesting an authentication response.
### static_challenge_echo
Show the static challenge response as plain text.
### static_key
OpenVPN static key content.
Required in `static_key` mode.
Conflict with `static_key_path`.
### static_key_path
OpenVPN static key path.
Required in `static_key` mode when `static_key` is not set.
Conflict with `static_key`.
### key_direction
Static key direction, one of `server` or `client`.
The key is used bidirectionally if empty. Only available in `static_key` mode.
### tls
Required in TLS mode.
OpenVPN control channel TLS configuration.
### tls.server_name
Expected server certificate name.
Certificate name verification is disabled if empty. The certificate chain or fingerprint and server certificate usage are still verified.
### tls.server_name_type
Certificate field matched by `tls.server_name`, one of `subject`, `name`, or `name-prefix`.
`name` is used by default when `tls.server_name` is set.
`subject` matches the full certificate subject, `name` matches the common name exactly, and `name-prefix` matches a common name prefix.
### tls.certificate
Trusted CA certificate content.
One of `tls.certificate`, `tls.certificate_path`, or `tls.peer_fingerprint` is required.
Conflict with `tls.certificate_path`.
### tls.certificate_path
Trusted CA certificate path.
One of `tls.certificate`, `tls.certificate_path`, or `tls.peer_fingerprint` is required.
Conflict with `tls.certificate`.
### tls.client_certificate
Client certificate content.
Conflict with `tls.client_certificate_path`.
### tls.client_certificate_path
Client certificate path.
Conflict with `tls.client_certificate`.
### tls.client_key
Client private key content.
Conflict with `tls.client_key_path`.
### tls.client_key_path
Client private key path.
Conflict with `tls.client_key`.
The client certificate and key must both be set or both be empty.
### tls.peer_fingerprint
Allowed SHA-256 fingerprints of the server leaf certificate.
Each fingerprint must be 64 lowercase hexadecimal characters without separators.
When a trusted CA is also configured, both the certificate chain and fingerprint are verified. Without a trusted CA, the fingerprint, certificate validity period, configured name, and certificate usage are verified, but the certificate chain is not.
### tls.crl_path
Path to a PEM or DER certificate revocation list used to reject revoked server certificates.
The CRL signature and validity period are verified against the trusted certificate chain.
Disabled by default.
### tls.remote_certificate_ku
Required server certificate key usage masks, written as hexadecimal values in OpenVPN `remote-cert-ku` format.
The certificate must contain all bits from at least one configured mask.
Disabled by default.
### tls.remote_certificate_eku
Required server certificate extended key usage.
OpenSSL names, object identifiers, and the aliases `server` and `client` are accepted.
When set, this field replaces the default `tls.remote_certificate_tls` check.
Conflict with an explicitly configured `tls.remote_certificate_tls`.
### tls.remote_certificate_tls
Peer certificate purpose check, one of `server`, `client`, or `none`.
`server` is used by default.
`none` disables the certificate purpose check.
Conflict with `tls.remote_certificate_eku`.
### tls.certificate_profile
Certificate profile, one of `insecure`, `legacy`, `preferred`, or `suiteb`.
`legacy` is used by default.
`insecure` accepts MD5- and SHA-1-signed certificate chains and smaller legacy
keys for compatibility with immutable peers. Use it only when the peer cannot
be upgraded. `legacy` accepts SHA-1 but rejects MD5 signatures; `preferred`
requires stronger signatures and keys.
When `suiteb` is selected and `tls.cipher` is empty, the TLS 1.2 cipher list defaults to the Suite B ECDHE-ECDSA AES-GCM suites. Explicit `tls.cipher` and `tls.groups` values are not restricted by the profile.
### tls.ns_certificate_type
Deprecated Netscape certificate type check, one of `server` or `client`.
Disabled by default. Prefer `tls.remote_certificate_tls`.
### tls.version_min
Minimum TLS version, one of `1.0`, `1.1`, `1.2`, or `1.3`.
`1.2` is used by default.
### tls.version_max
Maximum TLS version, one of `1.0`, `1.1`, `1.2`, or `1.3`.
The maximum supported version is used by default.
The value cannot be lower than `tls.version_min`.
### tls.cipher
Colon-separated OpenSSL cipher suite names allowed for TLS 1.2 and earlier.
The default TLS cipher suites are used when empty. TLS 1.3 cipher suites are not controlled by this field.
### tls.groups
Colon-separated TLS key exchange groups in preference order.
Supported groups are `X25519`, `SECP256R1`, `SECP384R1`, and `SECP521R1`, including their common OpenSSL and NIST aliases.
The default TLS groups are used when empty.
### tls.control_wrap
OpenVPN control channel wrapping.
Equivalent to OpenVPN `tls-auth`, `tls-crypt`, and `tls-crypt-v2`.
Disabled if empty.
### tls.control_wrap.type
Control channel wrapping type, one of `tls_auth`, `tls_crypt`, or `tls_crypt_v2`.
### tls.control_wrap.key
Control channel wrapping key content.
Conflict with `tls.control_wrap.key_path`.
### tls.control_wrap.key_path
Control channel wrapping key path.
Conflict with `tls.control_wrap.key`.
### tls.control_wrap.direction
`tls-auth` key direction, one of `server` or `client`.
Only available when `tls.control_wrap.type` is `tls_auth`. The key is used bidirectionally if empty.
### cipher
Data-channel cipher used in `static_key` mode.
The upstream static-key default `BF-CBC` is used when empty. `BF-CBC` is a
legacy cipher with a 64-bit block size; configure the cipher required by the
server explicitly whenever possible. Static-key ciphers include `BF-CBC`,
`CAST5-CBC`, `DES-CBC`, `DES-EDE-CBC`, `DES-EDE3-CBC`, the AES-CBC,
ARIA-CBC, and Camellia-CBC families, `SEED-CBC`, `SM4-CBC`, and `NONE`.
Only available in `static_key` mode. `NONE` provides no confidentiality.
### data_ciphers
Allowed OpenVPN data channel ciphers.
Only available in TLS mode.
`AES-256-GCM`, `AES-128-GCM`, and `CHACHA20-POLY1305` are used by default.
The AES-GCM family includes `AES-192-GCM`. Retained ciphers include the CBC,
CFB, and OFB forms of AES, ARIA, Camellia, DES, Blowfish, and CAST5, the CBC,
CFB, and OFB forms of SEED and SM4, and `NONE`. CFB and OFB are available only
in TLS mode. Legacy ciphers provide weaker or no confidentiality and are not
enabled by default.
### data_ciphers_fallback
Data channel cipher for peers that do not support cipher negotiation.
Disabled by default.
Only available in TLS mode.
### auth
OpenVPN data channel authentication digest.
`SHA1` is used by default. It only applies to non-AEAD data ciphers and `tls_auth`.
Legacy digests including `MD5` and `RIPEMD160` remain available when explicitly
configured for compatibility.
### mss_fix
Maximum OpenVPN UDP packet size used to clamp the MSS of TCP connections sent through the tunnel.
This prevents TCP packets from exceeding the path MTU after OpenVPN encapsulation.
When empty, the upstream OpenVPN default is used: `fragment` when configured,
otherwise `1492` for the default tunnel MTU or the configured tunnel MTU.
### mss_fix_disabled
Disable MSS clamping, including the default clamp.
Conflict with `mss_fix` and `mss_fix_mode`.
### mss_fix_mode
OpenVPN MSS calculation mode for an explicit `mss_fix`, one of `mtu` or `fixed`.
An empty value uses the normal OpenVPN encapsulation-aware calculation. `mtu` also accounts for the outer IP and UDP/TCP transport headers. `fixed` treats `mss_fix` as an inner IPv4 packet size.
Requires `mss_fix`.
### fragment
Maximum OpenVPN UDP packet size used for OpenVPN data channel fragmentation.
Disabled when `0`. A non-zero value must be at least `68`.
Conflict with TCP transport.
### replay_window
UDP data-channel replay window size. `64` is used by default. The maximum is `65536`.
TCP always requires strictly consecutive packet IDs.
### replay_window_time
UDP data-channel replay window duration. `15s` is used by default and the maximum is `10m`.
The value must use whole seconds.
### compression
OpenVPN `compress` framing mode, one of `none`, `no`, `lz4`, `lz4-v2`, `stub`, `stub-v2`, `disabled`, or `off`.
Disabled by default.
Compression can weaken traffic confidentiality. Prefer `stub` or `stub-v2` only when framing compatibility is required.
### compression_lzo
OpenVPN `comp-lzo` mode, one of `none`, `no`, `yes`, `adaptive`, `asym`, `disabled`, or `off`.
Disabled by default.
Compression can weaken traffic confidentiality. Enable it only when required by the server.
### allow_compression
Policy for compression pushed by the server, one of `no`, `asym`, or `yes`.
`no` is used by default and permits only compression stub framing. `asym` accepts compressed packets from the server but does not compress outgoing packets. For OpenVPN 2.7 compatibility, `yes` is accepted as a legacy alias for `asym`; the client never sends compressed packets.
Conflict with non-stub compression enabled by `compression` or `compression_lzo` when set to `no`.
### route_no_pull
Ignore routes, DNS and DHCP settings, route metrics, `redirect-gateway`,
`redirect-private`, `block-ipv6`, and `block-outside-dns` pushed by the server.
Interface configuration, topology, tunnel MTU, `route-gateway`, and locally configured routes are still used.
Disabled by default.
### pull_filters
Ordered filters for options pushed by the server.
The first filter whose `text` is a case-sensitive prefix of the complete pushed option is applied. Options that match no filter are accepted.
### pull_filters.action
==Required==
Filter action, one of `accept`, `ignore`, or `reject`.
`accept` applies the option, `ignore` discards it, and `reject` terminates the connection.
### pull_filters.text
==Required==
Case-sensitive prefix to match against the pushed option name and value.
For example, `route ` matches pushed IPv4 route options without matching `route-gateway`.
### routes
IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes preferred by sing-box routing for this OpenVPN endpoint.
These routes are used in addition to routes accepted from the server.
They do not install operating-system routes. Select the endpoint through
sing-box route rules or its preferred-route behavior.
### route_gateway
IPv4 gateway for routes through the OpenVPN endpoint.
When empty, the VPN gateway received from the server is used.
The value is retained for OpenVPN configuration compatibility; endpoint route
preference is prefix-based and does not install a system gateway route.
### route_metric
Default metric for routes through the OpenVPN endpoint.
The platform default is used when `0`.
The value is retained for OpenVPN configuration compatibility and does not
install a system route.
### redirect_gateway
Prefer the OpenVPN endpoint for all IPv4 destinations in sing-box routing.
Disabled by default.
This does not install an operating-system default route.
### redirect_gateway_flags
OpenVPN `redirect-gateway` flags.
`!ipv4` disables IPv4 preference, `def1` represents it with two `/1`
prefixes, and `ipv6` also prefers the upstream-specific IPv6 prefixes. The
OpenVPN control connection always uses its configured outbound dialer rather
than endpoint routes, so `local` and `autolocal` require no system-route
exception. `bypass-dhcp` and `bypass-dns` are not applicable because sing-box
does not install pushed DHCP or DNS settings into the operating system.
`block-local` is unsupported because the endpoint has no cross-platform source
for the physical default gateway needed to preserve the gateway exception.
Empty by default.
### redirect_private
Accept `redirect_gateway_flags` without adding a default-route preference. Routes pushed or configured separately still affect the endpoint's preferred addresses, but no operating-system routes are installed.
Disabled by default.
### block_ipv6
Reject IPv6 traffic locally instead of sending it through the VPN.
Disabled by default.
### ping_interval
Interval after which the client sends a data-channel ping when no packet has been sent to the server.
A server-pushed OpenVPN `ping` value overrides this value.
The value must use whole seconds.
Disabled by default.
### ping_restart
Time without receiving a packet after which the client reconnects to the server.
A server-pushed OpenVPN `ping-restart` value overrides this value.
The value must use whole seconds.
When empty, `120s` is used for UDP connections with pull enabled until the
server pushes another value. No default receive timeout is used for TCP.
### ping_restart_disabled
Disable the initial `120s` UDP pull timeout and any locally configured ping restart timeout.
Conflict with `ping_restart`.
### renegotiate_interval
OpenVPN TLS renegotiation interval.
When empty, the OpenVPN default `1h` is used.
### renegotiate_disabled
Disable time-based TLS renegotiation, including the default interval.
Conflict with `renegotiate_interval`.
### renegotiate_bytes
Renegotiate data-channel keys after this many bytes. `0` uses the cipher-dependent OpenVPN default.
### renegotiate_packets
Renegotiate data-channel keys after this many packets. `0` uses the cipher-dependent OpenVPN default.
### tls_timeout
Initial retransmission timeout for TLS control packets. The OpenVPN default `2s` is used when empty.
### handshake_window
Maximum time allowed for the initial TLS handshake and each renegotiation. The OpenVPN default `1m` is used when empty.
### explicit_exit_notify
Number of OpenVPN exit notifications sent when closing a UDP connection.
Notifications are sent one second apart. Disabled when `0`.
### system
Use a system interface.
Requires privilege and cannot conflict with existing system interfaces.
The endpoint configures interface addresses and MTU but does not install
operating-system routes or DNS settings.
If disabled, sing-box uses the internal network stack.
### name
Custom interface name for the system interface.
An automatically generated `ovpn` interface name is used by default.
### mtu
OpenVPN interface MTU.
When empty, `1500` is used until a server-pushed MTU is received.
