Hi. be shure this is a trivial question, but I'm newbie on OpenVPN configurations. I have a win 2012 server with a client connection to a company net. Working well. Now the situation requires running a OpenVPN server on the same machine, so external employees can connect to this server and doing synchronisations. The server has to be running 24/7. Shut i install a second instance of openvpn in a second install directory? Bcs. the actual installation does not work with a ovpn file which defines a server if a client actual running.
Thanks in advance
Michael

OpenVPN version 2.3.14.0 (openvpn.exe), Windows Server 2012R2, 64bit and clients (Laptops) running any version of windows.
We have two VPNs to create (my point of view for server is everytime to the Windows2012 server):
- one from the server into a company LAN (this works actually fine), here OpenVPN on the server acts as client
- second from windows client(s) (Laptops) into the server. Here OpenVPN on the server shut acts as server
The problem for me is understanding the configuration of client acess to this server. Can i simple store the .ovpn file (and certificates, keys) for the client access into the config folder? Can I use the standard configuration which is explaind in the HOWTO? Or is there a HOWTO for that configuration? I have no found, but I think that is not a exotic problem.
