Description

OpenVPN 2.4 added --tls-crypt which works similar to --tls-auth, but also encrypts the control channel. It does not require a key-direction, but otherwise uses the same format.

When tls-crypt is active, the control channel is encrypted, which also hides the certificate exchange and other protocol data, making OpenVPN more difficult to identify.
