I don't get it - what does "nobind" actually do then? The manpage states
Do not bind to local address and port. The IP stack will allocate a dynamic port for returning packets That just seems to be totally not the case. With "nobind" set, openvpn still explicitly binds to 1194. I always read the manpage as meaning "nobind" meant "let the OS decide what port to use". In fact, I just tried "lport 22222" and that didn't work either! It still used 1194. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
