Per client routing

greenfreq

Is it possible to specify full routing for some clients while leaving the other clients in half-routes.

Example:

ClientAlpha and Client Bravo are connected to the same server, ServerAlpha.

ClientBravo needs to have all of its network traffic routed through the VPN.
ClientAlpha only needs VPN network traffic to be routed via the VPN.

Can you specify a specific client to receive the push "redirect-gateway def1"?

It's all in the howto.

Thank you for the reply.
I am having difficulty translating what is in the HowTo @ https://openvpn.net/community-resources/how-to/#configuring-client-specific-rules-and-access-policies with assigning the full route functionality to a specific client.

Am I looking at the wrong area of the HowTo?

TinCanTech

Try this version.

Haha, are you trolling me? Those are the same thing with different looks.

The issue I am having is understanding how I inform openvpn that a client should use X config over Y config.

Hi green,

See --client-config-dir in the manual.

Access Server makes things like this much easier, if you are interested in that. If so please follow up in the Access Server subforum. (The free/gratis version of Access Server is limited to 2 concurrent connections.)

There it is... directory must be the same name as the x509 CN. Of course, it appears that I will have to set up routes to allow traffic between clients using these configs instead of using the client-to-client directive, and then adding additional routing for those clients that need it. But it's a step forward for me.

Thanks for the assistance.
