openvpn on centos 6 config

henryc

I am new to openvpn. Recently I installed a openvpn on my hosted VPN following this guide: http://geek-kb.com/linux/install-and-configure-openvpn-centos-6-x/

Installation is ok, and I am able to connect to it from my windows machine at home, also from my android phone using openvpn connect app.

Questions:
1) the server is configed to "client-cert-not-required", so when I config the client, the only certification need is ca.crt. so the opvn profile is same from different clients(my home windows machine and my cell phone), and when connected, they all have the same IP address 10.8.0.6. Is this an issue?

2) if I want to config server to require client cert, how do I generate client cert for each client? what changes need in server config and client config?

3) on server side, how do I check the status of the vpn server? and historical log of the vpn server(like when client connected, website visited and traffic info etc)?

Thanks!
