Hi, we have a long standing open ticket, #1337, about --explicit-exit-notify together with peer-to-peer mode.
My understanding of --explicit-exit-notify comes from p2mp mode, where it notifies the other end "I have been SIGINTR'ed, and will go away now", so the other end can stop sending packets (multi-instance is killed on the server, and client reconnects / goes to next server). I have learned much later that --explicit-exit-notify in p2p mode does something else - it kills the peer. So you press ctrl-c on one end of the OpenVPN connection, and *both* sides exit. David tells me "it has always been that way", but I wonder if we should keep it (= close #1337, do not change anything), or do something else, like "ignore incoming EEN (control-channel EXIT or OCC_EXIT) if not in server mode" (*) gert (*) p2mp server-to-client is not signaled as EXIT/OCC_EXIT but with control-channel restart (**) https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/1337 -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out. Never doubted it myself till I met a computer with a sense of humor." Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de
