What's missing?

I'm trying to follow the outlined steps for setting up a custom openvpn, but I cannot for the life of me find any example of a .conf file mentioned. I have the openvpn zip folder with two Security Certificates, and various .ovpn files. Do I just rename one of the .ovpn files to .conf? Do I create a new .conf file? What's the syntax / structure?

TB supports Wireguard, but I I don't believe they share or provide obvious access to the various Wireguard keys needed, so I figured I'd try the more "simple" OpenVPN method instead.

Context: I have a paid TunnelBear sub and want to try getting it setup, but TB isn't currently supported (that's fine), but I want to at least try getting the custom.md setup.

+1, I cant find any examples of an OpenVPN custom.conf file.

After tinkering with it for awhile, i noticed a line in the container logs saying that the custom.conf file did not have a remote. This seems to be the remote option from the OpenVPN config file. I copied the contents of my .ovpn file into the custom.conf file from my provider and it started working. Hopefully this link will help some people, it has a list of some of the popular OpenVPN tunnel options that you may want to configure.
