Bug Description

Recently, a discussion about bufferbloat came up on <email address hidden>.
In the linux version, the excessive buffering in the client can be disabled by specifying:

--txqueuelen N

on the command line or

txqueuelen N

in the config file.

network-manager-openvpn on the other hand doesn't have a way of specifiying ANY options that exceed whatever the GUI has to offer. Maybe that would be a nice thing to add to the GUI.

No for the same reason, but we also needed to add an extra parameter and we have no way to do.

I our case we added suport for 2 factor auth and need to add "--auth-retry interact" to the command line.
