First, configure TLS Clients. You can find the description on how to do that in the section before this one. 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.
First, configure TLS Clients. You can find the description on how to do that in the section before this one ('''[[OpenVPN_configuration_examples#Clients_from_Server|here]]'''). 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 problem, because the configuration then "tells" the router not push certain routes to certain Clients. For example, if a router pushes the route '''192.168.5.0 255.255.555.0''' to Client whose LAN IP address is 192.168.5.1, that Client will not be able to reach its network. TLS Clients prevents 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''.

OpenVPN Servers can be used as Proxies by OpenVPN Clients. This means that the client will be assigned the Public IP address of the OpenVPN server and will be seen as using that IP address when browsing the Internet, transferring data or doing any other online activities. This section provides direction on how to set up and OpenVPN Proxy on RUT routers.
