    Hi,

    In Windows or Linux OpenVPN, we can have multiple "remote server-name 1194".

    Can we do that in pfsense?

    I'm routing my LAN's traffic to internet via OpenVPN. Currently I have one active client.

    I would like to know is there possible to setup multiple server for a client, in case first server is down, client will connect to second server.

    Thank you.

      Yes that is (somewhat) possible.
      On the Clients page under Advanced options, Custom options, you can add:

      remote server-name1 1194;remote server-name2 1194;remote server-name3 1194;remote-random
      

      Read under Tunnel options here:

      I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.
