Something like that. Suppose, in an environment, the number of connections to the OpenVPN server outside the country is limited, but the internal OpenVPN server does not have this limit. Many clients connect to the internal OpenVPN server, but this OpenVPN server only has one connection to the OpenVPN which is outside the country. Therefore, clients can easily connect to the external OpenVPN server. _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
