Port-share support on Windows 10

Post by cacamille3 » Tue Apr 28, 2020 11:40 am

Hi,

I did not find information about the support of the port-share feature in Windows (10)
When I try to instanciate a server with a configuration containing port-share I receive the errror:

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in xxx.ovpn:13: port-share (2.4.9)
Use --help for more information.


On Windows 10, openvpn.exe --help do not returns any information about port-share.
So I guess, only Linux based OS can use this features...
Is this planned for any futures releases ?

If you mean "Port-share support on Windows" then there are no plans for such.

With Windblows being "what it is" it is probably not even possible.
