# The "float" tells OpenVPN to accept authenticated packets from any address,

# This is useful when you are connecting to a peer which holds a dynamic address
# such as a dial-in user or DHCP client.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)#float
# If redirect-gateway is enabled, the client will redirect it's
# default network gateway through the VPN.
# It means the VPN connection will firstly connect to the VPN Server
# and then to the internet.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)#redirect-gateway def1
# dhcp-option DNS: To set primary domain name server address.
# Repeat this option to set secondary DNS server addresses.#dhcp-option DNS DNS_IP_ADDRESS
pull
# If you want to connect by Server's IPv6 address, you should use
# "proto udp6" in UDP mode or "proto tcp6-client" in TCP mode

Bonne chance!
Please note: This was never adopted to the "newer" (modern) OpenVPN standard, however it's still workable:

I use a Synology nas server!
Do you have a link to the procedure?
Thanks in advance
