How to have same configuration on two servers

postcd

Hello,

i am having two Linux servers (CentOS) where is running OpenVPN server.
And i have Windows client.

I want some kind of failover in case one server is down or other connectivity issue.

So i found this article: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#loadbalance

from that article i understand i need to tweak my .ovpn file at client computer and add:
remote primaryserverIP
remote secondaryserverIP

but when i do it, i assume it will not work, because of different access key? I am a newbie. What do i need to do on the server so both server configurations are same so can be called from within that single client configuration file?

I would copy server config. file from one server to other, but i assume that is not all needed..? Thank you in advance for suggestion.

if i'm not mistaken , you can solve that by running each openvpn server using the same CA , even if you have different server certs ... they just have to be signed by the same CA

Totally agree with your point Titex 🙂

I do not know how to sign nor how to use same CA to do it. I used automated script to setup openVPN server on Linux CentOS. And my client computer is Windows 10 & Android. Can i duplicate some file and or run some executable with certain parameters?
