Tutorial: Turn Off Multi-Daemon Mode and Use Only TCP or UDP⁠

Overview⁠

In Access Server, multi-daemon mode optimizes performance by running multiple OpenVPN daemons, one for each CPU core, supporting both TCP and UDP protocols. However, there are scenarios where you might need to turn off multi-daemon mode and use a single daemon instead.

Connect to the console and get root privileges.
Switch to the scripts directory:
```
cd /usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/
```

Disable multi-daemon mode:

./sacli --key "vpn.server.daemon.enable" --value "false" ConfigPut

Configure the daemon to use TCP:

./sacli --key "vpn.daemon.0.listen.protocol" --value "tcp" ConfigPut

Enable port sharing:

./sacli --key "vpn.server.port_share.enable" --value "true" ConfigPut

Restart the service:
```
./sacli start
```

Connect to the console and get root privileges.
Switch to the scripts directory:
```
cd /usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/
```

Disable multi-daemon mode:

./sacli --key "vpn.server.daemon.enable" --value "false" ConfigPut

Configure the daemon to use UDP:

./sacli --key "vpn.daemon.0.listen.protocol" --value "udp" ConfigPut

Disable port sharing:

./sacli --key "vpn.server.port_share.enable" --value "false" ConfigPut

Restart the service:
```
./sacli start
```
