Create a VPN server with access restrictions (IP/addresses)

Post by Nemesis » Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:48 pm

I've been looking for a while to create a VPN server with restrictions.

I want a VPN server that blocks certain IP/web addresses, and allow all other addresses...

Is this even possible with openvpn?

Hi,

Code: Select all

blocks certain IP/web addresses, and allow all other addresses...
That is not up to OpenVPN.
Look into firewall and DNS/IP based blockers.
I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.
