Thanks for the tip. I was under the impression that the shared key is
just the equivalent of the hashed password in /etc/shadow. Also, when
running "openvpn --genkey --secret static.key", I wasn't prompted for
the hostname or IP address of the client, so I don't understand why
using a shared key would limit connections only from a specific
client.

Or do you mean that once a client is connected, no other client can
connect using the shared key?

Thank you.
