      Is it possible to configure OpenVPN as both a server, and client, on the same router?  Am attempting to do so, but getting "Service not running" / "unable to contact daemon" error on the OpenVPN status tab.

      I assume this means it is not possible? Or is there a tweak to do this?

      Thanks!

      Paul

        It works fine, I run some systems that have a half dozen or so of each.

        As long as they don't have settings that directly conflict (e.g. same tunnel network or they are both trying to use the same local port) it should be fine.

        What errors do you get in the OpenVPN log?
