How to set TUN/TAP devices
I know that similar questions have been asked before and I did try to follow the instructions suggested by other users, but I still can't seem to solve my problem. I just signed up for HMA vpn. When I run the script they provided I get stopped at the last hurdle
Calling OpenVPN as service... Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev) Use --help for more information.
I don't know what to do.. Can somebody help?

This article was tremendously helpful to me in setting up OpenVPN. I assume you are running it as a client? Of course, I do not know what configuration steps you have already performed, but it is likely that you need to edit your profile file ?.ovpn to, as a minimum, include the hostname of the server you are trying to connect to. Then, depending on the client you are using, you can either merge the certificates and keys into ?.ovpn or supply them separately. Step 4 in the linked article goes over this in detail. Then step 5 shows how to incorporate the profile into a number of different client systems (IOS, OSX, Windows).
