Parameter	Options	Function	Usage
dhcp-option	WINS <IP> DNS <IP> DOMAIN <name> NBDD <IP> NTP <IP> NBT <type> NBS <scope-id> DISABLE-NBT	Sets specific DHCP data over the VPN for Windows clients: Sets a specific DNS or WINS server via DHCP, set domain name, NetBIOS server address, network time server, and more.	--push "dhcp-option DNS 10.94.46.11"
