Disable encryption for one user ?

[Dalay]

We have some clients wanting to use the VPN service only to change their IP.

As I know, it can be done by adding "-cipher none" to Client Config Directives.
However, I need this to be added only to certain clients configuration.

What do I have to do for this ? (OpenVPN AS)

Thanks

this is not possible in the current versions of OpenVPN; the server uses one method for encryption to encrypt traffic to ALLclients.

You could run a second openvpn instance (e.g. on port 1195) for this one user only that does not use any encryption.

I am a bit of newbie. I am running openvpn-as and would like to disable cipher completely to reduce overheads is this possible with the as version. If so how?

Encrypting folders and files is a way to protect them from unwanted access. Encrypting File System (EFS) is a feature of Windows that allows you to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is enabled by default in Vista. If you disable encryption, no user account will be able to encrypt a file or folder.
