I have been googling around and others reported this back in 2005! Looking at the code (I'm no programmer), there seems to be a hint that the "nobind" option only works for TCP - not UDP?
Is this true? There's no reason for it that I can think of, but it would explain what I'm seeing: in UDP mode, openvpn ignores "nobind". Even on my Linux box, I have "nobind" set and yet it's using 1194 for lport... Confirmed. I have a server running on 1194 tcp and udp and if I toggle between tcp and udp on the client (ie nobind remains the same), I see lport=1194 for udp and lport=>1023 for tcp Jason -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
