yes i know all that, this is just for testing purpose, the final it wiil be udp 
and then tcp.

good point about 80 tcp,and yes i will use 443 tcp wich is more likely not to 
be intercepted

my question is why is not function the fallback mechanism from the cfg file, in 
my case the client continously use only port 80 tcp even if this port is DROP 
or REJECT with iptables on openvpn server.
and also if i have two different openservers listen on the same port lets say 
1194 udp, when the first is down, it will not jump on the second one.

remote X 1194
remote Y 1194

when i click connect every time is going to the first and not jump to the 
secondone, i tested also with randome declaration, but even with random is not 
a solutions depends on wich one is take first.

a solution is of course with two separate configs, but not all users have 
technical skills and for ordinary people is hard to explain: if first is not 
working try second.what if you have 4 servers and 4 ports?

now we are doing round robin DNS fallback with two servers and two ports(udp, 
tcp).

and yes i have a server which know listens on 1194-udp and 80-tcp.

Thanks for the answers.
