I have long wanted to listen on two ports, one UDP and one (different) TCP, so that clients could have a better chance of connecting
I find that many wifi networks block lots of things, including 1194/udp. Apparently the people who configure firewalls think people using facebook etc. is ok, and nerd protocols like openvpn, xmpp and matrix are harmful, so it seems best to blend in :-( I saw in the 2.7.0 release notes one could do this, but couldn't figure it out. Finally I found this blog post: https://www.willifix.net/blog/openvpn-2-7-multisocket-howto which says that instead of "udp" and "port 1194" in the config, one should instead have (with my changing the tcp port to be different): local 0.0.0.0 1200 udp local 0.0.0.0 1300 tcp I have a configuration with a specific listen address, and different ports on udp and tcp, and it seems to work. (It would be great if someone could do a blog post or docs change to explain how to configure nginx to function as a proxy to reach an openvpn server on the same host, so that the connection from the client to the server would just be on 443/tcp. Critically, this should work without interfering with the web server, so no remapping /.) _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
