      Hello!

      i have read that connecting multiple users behind the same remote offcial ip
      to a PPTP-Server is not possible without a special proxy software (is it done btw?).

      i want to know if this is the same with ovpn? And if yes, if there is any solution
      with pfSense.

      Example:
      5 Users at customer A want to connect to home office (pfSense) at the same time with
      the same offcial ip-address. Possible?

      many thanks
      Stefan

        i think yes. because the clients use as source port something random –> the server can differ the clients.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          OpenVPN does not have the same problems that PPTP has with pfSense (and many other firewalls). One of the nice things about OpenVPN is it's very firewall friendly.
