remote server fallback solutions

Post by ovpnjunior » Sun Aug 05, 2018 8:20 am

Hi,

I'm registered to a vpn provider and I very often receive disconnections.
In order to handle these disconnections I'm looking for an automatic "fallback server" instead of manually re-connection with different .ovpn file.
I found out that .ovpn can contain multiple 'remote' parameters but when looking through the .ovpn files I received from my VPN vendor I have noticed a few differences between the .ovpn files:
  • One .ovpn file may contain 'auth' parameter and the other does not
  • Different 'ca' parameter
  • Different 'tls-auth' parameter
What are the best solutions to have single .ovpn file with multiple fallback servers or is there another solution out there?

At this time, openvpn does not support multiple PKI's within one config file.
