Multiple Sessions per User

Post by Bill Stuzd » Mon Apr 18, 2022 10:48 pm

"Allow multiple concurrent VPN connections for a user (automatically disabled when static VPN IP addresses are configured for users)"

- Are you saying that I can't allow multiple sessions for ANY user/group if I have a static IP assigned to ANY [other] user ?

If so, this seems unnecessarily restrictive...

Hello Bill,

The restriction applies to the singular user object. If you have this option for multiple connections enabled on the server, and user A has a static IP set, then user A cannot do multiple connections on that account. That is because a single IP cannot be used more than once. However user B which does not have a static IP set, can have multiple connections at the same time.

Kind regards,
Johan
