ramtatatam wroteIs it possible to configure OpenVPN in such a way that clients initially connect to the server but then they can communicate each with other without server being involved (at all).
Short answer: NO : Long answer : No, that is not how Openvpn works.
ramtatatam wroteI have three machines I'm backing up to my NAS drive and currently all traffic goes through my OpenVPN server - this eats my bandwidth (OpenVPN server installed on VPS with limited bandwidth)
Create your/another server at your NAS drive location.
ramtatatam wroteI was thinking maybe setting up all peers as `server` and somehow pushing routes so when new server connects to any known server they all broadcast that new server and push routes to it (that's how I imagine it, not sure if it is even possible)
Some things cannot be done the way you
imagine, otherwise the internet would not work.
I am reminded of the sun going around the earth .. :mrgreen:
