Possible to run a client and server instance at the same time?

txff83

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on a Poweredge server with multiple ethernet interfaces...

I want to have an Openvpn server listening on eno1 *.*.*.11 with a tun (tun0) adapter, and use an openvpn client on eno4 *.*.*.14 with a different tun ( tun1)adapter....

Is this possible? Trying to see if it's even doable before I make myself crazy -- my google fu hasn't been very helpful.

Yes .. but you need knowledge, tenacity and forethought.
