Re: [Openvpn-users] Connection problems

["Nigel Allen" <dna@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

Thanks Charles for pointing me in the correct direction. The problem
(omitting fat fingers and a bad ip address) was indeed UDP. Once we
switched to TCP it "just worked". Wonderful.

I have two more questions though.

I now have a working "server.conf" file (on the server funnily enough)
that works well for the connection I have been testing. If I add more
clients into the mix, am I right in thinking that they will all be dealt
with by the same server.conf with IP addresses allocated to them from
the pool we have defined in the server-bridge parameter or do we have to
have a separate "conf" file for each client.

If the former is the case, is there any way I can generate a separate
log file for each connection?

Thanks again and Regards

Nigel.
