Can I add a new config on a different port to coexist 1194

I have found a number of circumstances where port 1194 is blocked by the ISP (like Cox Cable) and I need to have my existing VPN answer on multiple port numbers utilizing the same client config and subnet.
Is this possible?

in general : no.
Each openvpn instance will have its own server IP range , so with multiple instances you end up with multiple IP ranges.
the only way round this is to use an external DHCP server (in combination with 'server-bridge') but this is undesirable in most cases.

hi there,
to Janjust:
what about if he tried to redirect ports transparently on server using iptables?
would this break openvpn connections?

Hi Michael,
actually, that would work in most cases, esp for TCP based sessions. Nice suggestion!
