Improve security and robutness OpenVPN

MiguelSC88

Hi everyone.

Thank you in advance for your advices. I´m new with the configuration and installation of a OpenVPN server.

I have a OpenVPN server installed in an ubuntu server 16.04. I have already some users created in the system, and they can log into de VPN and access to the servers.

Now, I would like to increase the security and the robustness of the VPN. I created a copy of the previous server and assigned a new static ip to it.

I don´t know how to do, if the first server fails and users cannot connect redirect the request to the second OpenVPN server:

I don´t know if it´s possible to make.

Is it neccesary to make a "manual copy" of the users in the backup server? (If it´s "yes", which files I need to copy)

Other thing I would like to do is to restrict the range of address that can connect to the OpenVPN, for example, if only 25 IP´s has access to avoid a differente IP. Any suggestion??

Best regards.

Thank you for your quick response.

This configuration must be set in the config file of the client no? Must be modified manually in every client no?

Thanks again!!
