Description
I would love to create one config for my VPN provider:
Example .opvn file snippet:
# Amsterdam, NL 1
remote ams-a01.wlvpn.com
# Amsterdam, NL 2
remote ams-a02.wlvpn.com
# Ashburn, US 1
remote iad-a01.wlvpn.com
# Ashburn, US 2
remote iad-a02.wlvpn.com
I would love that when I connect, a pop-up shows with a message "Choose server", and a dropdown containing "Amsterdam, NL 1", "Amsterdam, NL 2", "Ashburn, US 1", "Ashburn, US 2".

Research direction
Start by tracing the OpenVPN GUI connection flow and how multiple remote entries in a configuration are handled. Define how server labels are obtained and how the selection popup fits into connecting. Done means a config with several remote entries presents the requested choices and connects using the selected server.
