The question is about OpenVPN section of Settings. I see the two options: Automatic and 2.6. I need to put 2.5 here. How to do that?

Hi odiszapc,
Older versions are not available: OpenVPN 2.6 is backwards compatible and can connect to OpenVPN servers running older versions of OpenVPN. You don't need the OpenVPN client and server versions to match.
If you're having trouble connecting to an OpenVPN 2.5 server using Viscosity, please run through the steps at:
