+--ns-cert-type type
+  **DEPRECATED** The ``--remote-cert-tls`` option should be used instead.
+  The option is still available since it can't be silently ignored and needs
+  updates to certificates and configs on both sides of the connection.
+  However it should not be used for new clients or servers. It depends on the
+  deprecated ``nsCertType`` certificate field.
+
+  Might not work depending on the TLS library used.
+
+  Will be removed in a future release.

 --pkcs12 file
   Specify a PKCS #12 file containing local private key, local certificate,
   and root CA certificate. This option can be used instead of ``--ca``,

---ns-cert-type
-  Removed in OpenVPN 2.5.  The ``nsCertType`` field is no longer supported
-  in recent SSL/TLS libraries.  If your certificates does not include *key
-  usage* and *extended key usage* fields, they must be upgraded and the
-  ``--remote-cert-tls`` option should be used instead.

 --prng
   Removed in OpenVPN 2.6.  We now always use the PRNG of the SSL library.
