Fresh Tomato setup

[Pit61 0]

Hello there,
I'm trying to setup AirVPN on a Router running Fresh Tomato. It seems the instructions I found here are a little bit outdated (2015) and the options differ a little bit.
Here is where I'm at right now and I was hoping for some tip or hints for the correct setup:

There's an option for

remote-cert-tls server

right above custom options.  So it doesn't need to be in custom options.

I'd add to custom options:
 

persist-key
persist-tun
nobind

Finally, AirVPN doesn't use compression so switch off that compression option (currently it's on stub) and also remove

comp-lzo

from custom options.

Thank you for the reply. I'll give it a try.
In the mean time, I switched to Wireguard which seems to be much easier to set up. I just imported the config file and it worked right away plus I have almost no loss in download/upload speed.
