Advanced configuration on a per-client basis

Post by turnip » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:37 am

I am running OpenVPN AS on CentOS and use the client under Windows. Normally, I have the following settings for all clients: don't use the server default gateway or DNS servers, encryption and compression are enabled.

For one client only, I'd like to use the server default gateway and DNS servers (ie route all traffic through the server), and to disable encryption and possibly compression altogether (but leave authentication in place). Does OpenVPN allow such custom settings on a per-client basis? If yes, I understand I need to edit the client profile on the client machine, and also it seems to me that there must be a maching profile on the server. If it's really so, where are the user-specific profiles are stored on Linux?

Thanks!

You have to ssh to the OpenVPN server and create a "ccd" file for the specfic user with the options you need.
