OpenVPN Server | Plan (B)
-
Dear Guys,
Today I want to take your opinions or recommendations what will be PLAN (B) if the OpenVPN WAN IP is down! we all knew while configuring OpenVPN server we apply only ONE IP for the VPN. So, what is the good practices for that issue means there is a way to put other IP as if the first IP failed use other ?
Note: it's SITE TO SITE VPN I added a public DNS record to my domain for the VPN Server as VPN.example.com

You can bind the OpenVPN server to localhost and use all of your WANs at the same time.
The Client side can use multiple remote statements in the config file.-Rico
