[Openvpn-users] Protecting against MITM with '--ns-cert-type'

Hello,

In the online docs, it mentions that a man in the middle attack can
best be prevented by using the --ns-cert-type <client|server>
option, while using the --tls-remote <server common name> ranks
second. Why is --ns-cert-type more effective in this context?

Regards,
Michael
