Hi, is there a way to signal a client to disconnect immediately and reconnect, preferrably using other remote and after a delay? That would be really useful when doing planned server restarts and rebalancing client connections.
the background is that I have an expensive metered LTE connection as a backup and would like to keep clients off of it unless it is really necessary, i.e. the main line is down. I also often need to adjust the routes and that requires a restart of the server but then all clients are blocked for a -—ping-restart seconds which my users, rightfully, find very annoying. with TCP, one can presumably send a RST, but with UDP? I’ve tried sending various ICMPs like host or port unreachable, but it doesn’t seem to help. issuing kill <cid> makes a server forget a session but it does not notify the client in any way, so the client still waits ping-restart seconds, which is not a very good UX. exiting with a non-zero from client-connect or tls-verify throws an authentication error and does not retry other remote. any other ideas? _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
