Quick note: in my current setup the only difference between each of the users I have logging in is the port number and the key they are using. If there could be some kind of demuxer that dynamically allocated the port/instance of OpenVPN that was connected then this would at least be possible for me... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Sandström" <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 10:07 AM Subject: RE: [Openvpn-users] connecting to multiple servers The idea is that several roadwarriors should all connect to a single openvpn daemon. As it stands right now you need one openvpn daemon running for each connecting roadwarrior. When you have a few hundred users it gets kinda annoying :) /peter -----Original Message----- From: openvpn-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:openvpn-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Farkas Levente Sent: den 22 oktober 2003 16:24 To: openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Openvpn-users] connecting to multiple servers but in the example you can use tun device and connect to one gateway machine with one connection. why do youi need more connections to connect to the same network?
