This is exactly what I needed for a special use-case, where I hand out IP addresses, which are not private ones, but real internet IPs and where I can afford to assign more than one IP to one client and not a subnet (see my mail from 10th of June). I also have to be sure that none of the clients is changing its source address. Interesting would be whether it would be possible to allocate a new tun device to every new client. This would have some impact on how to handle queing disciplines on single openvpn connections. One could then handle this like PPTP connections, where a separate ppp device is allocated for each client. Personally I currently don't have time to dive into the code. Can somebody give a rough estimate on how much work that would be? -- Torge Szczepanek <openvpn-de...@szczepanek.de>
