How to limit the server to listen on two addresses ?

SaLMoN

I've installed CentOS 6.4 with openvpn 2.3.2. The server on different interfaces are connected to: local area network, Internet access with two public addresses (openvpn listening on an alias, has been set by the "local" option in the configuration file) and MAN with a private address. How to limit listening the openvpn server to public alias and private address of MAN? The "local" option provides perhaps only the one address. Besides, when I turn off the "local" option, I can't connect to the alias-address.

I know that but is it possible to limit listening to 2 IP's on 2 different interfaces instead of all interfaces ?

Yes, exactly, or I don't know how to specify it correctly (both at one config, one instance). And on "listen on all interfaces" config (without local specified) on Internet interface - where I have 2 IPs defined, as ethx and ethx:0 (the same IP network), I can connect only to IP defined on ethx interface. But - when I include "local" option with first or second address, client connects without problem.

OK, I created 2 instances, each for 1 IP. It works the way I wanted. Thanks for the guidance !

HowTo was read earlier in the search possible formats of the "local" option, thread is ready to close 🙂
