OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi,

In order to make my authintication stronger I am using tls-auth option but in order to make it more scure i wish to change the key (actually thats works great) but the problem is that I need to restart the server each time I do it.

Is it possible to refresh the authentication key on the server or reloading it without the need to restart?

Thanks,

shiran

the devs have discussed a similar proposal .. but don't hold your breath ..

As an option you can concurrently run a selection of server configs on one host
each with different keys, ciphers, ports etc ..

You may be able to get an update out of the devs on the mailing list or irc channel.

Hi thanks for answering,

I have tried to post the same topic at the authentication scrips but I didnt got answer...

Can you refer me to the Dev list? I dont know the irc list..



thanks again.
