deleting a user, but he connects anyway

garcia

I created a test user deadpool and then I want to close access to him, I execute the commands

source ./vars; ./easyrsa revoke deadpool
source ./vars; ./easyrsa gen-crl

I look at the file ../easy-rsa/pki/index.txt

R 291117095327Z 191120095829Z 6EDD6811C3D31FFAB2C755224C34E638 unknown / CN = deadpool

and I deleted all user certificates from

pki/reqs/deadpool.req
pki/private/deadpool.key
pki/issued/deadpool.crt

but it can still connect to the server, only restart of openvpn.service helps, how can I use openvpn.service without restarting?

You didn't delete user anyway so it connect as normal.you can't delete user because it is on user's computer hardware so that why

What you did is only delete user'certificate and nothing more so nothing happens.

If you want to delete user . First you need to create user database and create user name and password. Then you delete user certificate after that you need create revocation check list and update revocation check list on server config .when Your client connect to server . Server will check its certificate and compare with certificate up-to-date in revocation check list . If certificate ve been detected so server not permitted client connect .
