When you + generate your certificates make sure that the CNs are sufficiently + different to not cause issues. When trusting an external CA note that + this is a potential attack vector via maliciously generated + certificates that exploit this issue. + --client-to-client Because the OpenVPN server mode handles multiple clients through a single tun or tap interface, it is effectively a router.
