bond or separate interfaces for multiple openvpn processes

Post by dblviking » Fri Apr 05, 2019 6:34 pm

I'm running three concurrent openvpn processes on a single vm with a single 1Gb interface. I'm using udp port 1194,1195 and 1196.

I want to increase throughput capacity so I'm adding two more 1Gb interfaces to the VM. My questions is, should I:
  • Bond all three into a single pipe and keep running the same three server configs running off bond0 and tun0,tun1,tun2.
  • Setup each server-<port>.conf to bind to separate 1G interfaces - eth0,eth1,eth2,tun0,tun1,tun2.
Anyone have experience in those scenarios?
