I ran into this exact situation. Based on my knowledge of how OpenVPN operates in "server mode", I figured that it would require a significant change to allow this. As a workaround, I run OpenVPN in "inetd mode", which forces a new openvpn process for each client and therefore a separate tap interface. Works great for me.

Hi all,
Does anybody know how/if I can run OpenVPN as server and have it create a new tap interface for each authenticated connection?

If this is not possible, how much work would it be to implement it as a patch? Would it fit with the OpenVPN internals, or it would need major changes to fit?

Thanks in advance,
Manolis
