--remote-random : If multiple --remote options specified, choose one randomly.
--remote-random-hostname : Add a random string to remote DNS name.

--connect-retry n [m] : For client, number of seconds to wait between
                  connection retries (default=5). On repeated retries

                  determine auth method and query for username/password
                  if needed.  auto-nct disables weak proxy auth methods.

                  connected via a common subnet, such as with WiFi.
                  Add 'def1' flag to set default route using using 0.0.0.0/1
                  and 128.0.0.0/1 rather than 0.0.0.0/0.  Add 'bypass-dhcp'
