Problems with Openvpn Road-warriors - can only make one connection at once

swingkid1938

I hope somebody can help me.

I used to generate multiple OpenVPN Road-warriors on IPCOP. With IPCop i could make multiple connections on the same time. I tried that with PFSense. When I create Multiple OpenVPN Server I only can connect one at the time. In Status Services I see all Openvpn Servers but only one is active. To activate another connection I have to stop the active Server and start the one I want.

What must I do. What am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me?

Both OpenVPN Servers need different ports.
Further in the OpenVPN Server config you could enter, how many clients can connect to the VPN Server. (Simultaneaus connections)

Thank you for your fast help Nachtfalke, but what I want is something different

@Nachtfalke:

1. Both OpenVPN Servers need different ports.
2. Further in the OpenVPN Server config you could enter, how many clients can connect to the VPN Server. (Simultaneaus connections)

1. I use different Ports

Disabled Protocol / Port Tunnel Network Description
NO UDP / 1194 10.10.11.0/24 jsn test connection 01
NO UDP / 1200 10.10.11.0/24 jsn test connection 02

2. When I use this do the clients use the same certificates for this server?

What I'm trying to get is:

Every costumer has his own certificates
Every costumers workstation has his own connection and fix ip
The connections can be made simultaneously

I had it this way for years with IPCop

I get this error:

Client connections for jsn test connection 01 UDP:1194
Common Name Real Address Virtual Address Connected Since Bytes Sent Bytes Received

Client connections for jsn test connection 02 UDP:1195
Common Name Real Address Virtual Address Connected Since Bytes Sent Bytes Received
[error] Management Daemon Unreachable 0 0 0

Under services it looks this way:

Service - Description - Status

dhcpd - DHCP Service - Running
dnsmasq - DNS Forwarder - Running
ntpd - NTP clock sync - Running
openvpn - OpenVPN server: jsn test connection 02 - Stopped
openvpn - OpenVPN server: jsn test connection 01 - Running

With the certificates I am not sure at all. I created an individual certificate for every client and server. If someone lost his laptop, I could revocate this individual certificate without block all other clients which are using the same certificate.

The tunnel networks of the both OpenVPN servers need to be different

10.10.11.0/24 jsn 01
10.10.12.0/24 jsn 02

I hope this explains what you wnat !? ;-)

Yes it did. The problem was that I used the same network range in IPCop. I tried the same in pfSense. After changing both to a different network rage both openVPN Services were running.

Thank you very much for your help. It helped me a lot.

Vielen Dank Nachtfalke :)
