First, configure TLS Clients | First, configure TLS Clients. This is necessary in the case of multiple Clients because the Server will not only be pushing the routes of other Clients but also the routes to the Clients' own networks to their routing tables. This would cause the Clients' routers to be unreachable until the OpenVPN connection is terminated. | ||
TLS Clients solves this issue because the configuration then "tells" the router not to push certain routes to certain Clients. For example, if a router pushes the route '''192.168.5.0 255.255.555.0''' to a Client whose LAN IP address is 192.168.5.1, that Client will not be able to reach its network. TLS Clients prevent this - if a Client, for example, has the LAN IP address of 192.168.5.1, he will not receive the ''route 192.168.5.0 255.255.555.0''. | TLS Clients solves this issue because the configuration then "tells" the router not to push certain routes to certain Clients.
