Let me first start off by saying I did RTFM :). I think I understand everything but I wanted to check here to make sure I know what I'm doing before I jump in with both feet. Sorry if this has already been covered before. I want to use OpenVPN so that all of the traveling consultants/developers will be able to access the internal IT and development environment (192.168.x.x). Many of the consultants will end up on a companies internal, private network behind some NAT firewall/router. So we're looking at something like... (Consultant PC, mixed OS types) x.x.x.x --> 123.45.67.89 (NAT address) 123.45.67.89 --> 98.76.54.123 (Devil Linux) 98.76.54.123 --> 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x (Internal LAN) The consultant's IP address is always changing (once or twice a day). So here's my question, by using the "float" command with no "remote" in the config file, the server will accept connections from any client with the proper shared key, right? Are there drawbacks that I should be aware of? I think the closest thing I could find to an answer was at the bottom of the FAQ, "How can I implement OpenVPN as a classic, forking TCP server which can service multiple clients over a single TCP port?". However I had a hard time understanding what was being done, can someone shed some light?
