I was able to confirm my suspicion, if I reuse the random ports (which
OpenVPN chose with `nobind`) with `lport`, I'm reassigned the previous
IP addresses. This effectively resolves the IP pool exhaustion.
However, I still haven't found a way to identify the port of the
OpenVPN client process. I want to automate the process and would love
to have an environmental variable with the port, when using `nobind`.
Unfortunately the variable "local_port" is not set with `nobind`.
How can I identify the port OpenVPN is binding to using environmental
variables/scripting?
you can't : when using "nobind" openvpn does not provide any info on
which local port is used for a connection. It might be trivial to add
this , but right now it's not in there at all.
