tcp and udp on same machine at same time ???

[headshoter]

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution that helps me connecting to my server using both tcp and udp protocols.
Is this possible at all? Does anyone have any idea?

tcp and udp protocols

See --proto in The Manual v23x

You can run more than one instance of OpenVPN on one machine ...

i've visited the link you provided, but didn't get anything special. just the proto types was explained but not explained how to run multiple instances.
can you make me more clear about how this could be done?

Thanks,

Create two config files (upd / tcp) and start them both ...

thanks for your help, but now i have two .conf files in /etc/openvpn/
one (server.conf) configured to use udp:999 and the other (second.conf) configured to use udp:987
i run "service openvpn restart" command, but after that i can only connect to udp:999 and it seems the service is not listening to port 987.

is this configurable to set which .conf files should be started when openvpn service is restarting??

OpenVPN service on Linux "usually" starts ALL .conf files in /etc/openvpn

.: only have the .conf file you require in /etc/openvpn when starting the OpenVPN service.

Or .. start them all and configure your network to correctly accommodate them all.
In your case: ensure you have opened the necessary server ports on your Server Firewall.

if fact i remember i've run a command like this : "openvpn --config file". i guess the problem is here because i manually set the configuration file.
do you have any idea so i can undone this ? or any other suggestions ?

Thanks,

* Hint ..

• setup one server and make sure it works
  then do the same again ..
