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?
If not I wish there was an option that each time the auth is being made the server will load the key again.

Thanks,

shiran

i have been restarting both sides, remote first. plenty quick enough. i have a script loop to restart and just terminate the process and let the script do its thing. another script runs in the background and does this if it can't get through for 40 seconds in case something hangs (was fun testing it).
