Title: Openvpn - Routed Contrib
Post by: p-jones on October 29, 2016, 11:55:13 PM

When connecting multiple clients to one server with the routed contrib,

(1) should I be using multiple server instances on the server
(2) with different ports & client certificates

and where would be the best place to insert the config for multiple instances of the server and will they survive the reconfiguration process ?

Using the bridged configuration is not an option due to the nature of the hardware

Thanks
Peter

No, the routed contrib, just like the bridge one, allows multiple clients on the same server instance. Only the site to site contrib (which is more targetted for server-to-server even if it can be used to connect clients endpoints too) is a one-server-per-client solution.

Thanks Daniel.

For the record, if anyone trawling the forum in the future, I enabled DuplicateCN and Increased MaxClients.
That allowed me to use one config file across several devices and each device got a different IP.
That is the result I was looking for in terms of up scaling.

Excellent contrib and thanks for making it available.
