Ros7 multiple ovpn server support?

If I understand the ovpn manual correctly, multiple ovpn server support has been available since ros7.17. Does that mean I can run two ovpn servers, one TCP and one UDP?

Yes, you can create multiple instances with different port/protocol.

thx :slight_smile: … another question:

There is a new flag in OVPN Client settings (not in V6), not documented on mikrotik manual page:

If i dont want to push routes, i have to set the flag ?

The client normally asks for and then installs the routes received from the server side. This tells the client not to do that, the assumption being that you add any route that you would want manually. If the server doesn't push any routes then obviously there is no difference that can be detected.

It's the same as passing "route-nopull" to the official openvpn client (as the name of the parameter would suggest.)

This doesn't affect the installation of the default if "add default route" is selected.

One last question: the certificate can be the same for both servers ?

Yes, same certificate can be reused, not just for OpenVPN.

Yep. Certificates, address pools, profiles, port numbers (one tcp, one udp) can be the same.

If you want both a udp and tcp server for max compatibility perchance :slight_smile:

PS: The Port for UDP an TCP can be the same ?

Yes, when if is different protocol, there is no port conflict with same number.

Works perfectly, thank you!
It's a shame that under ‘active connections’ you can't see who is connected via udp and who is connected via tcp :wink:
