      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.
