Yes, I did all that. The problem with that is that, by using those commands, I was never able to "tell" the client to connect to the next server. With the approach you mentioned, the client will 1st try to connect to the same server it was initially connected to. What I need, is for the client to connect to the "next" server on the connection list, compose of several --remote directives. However, in the meantime, and getting desperate, I went to look at the source code, to see how exactly, the --explicit-exit-notify directive actually accomplishes it. And I found out how to successfully do it. For the record, and all good and helping people of the open community, here's the solution: 1. Open the management interface 2. Get CID 3. Issue: client-kill <CID> RESTART,[N] Hope this will help someone else :) Now, what I still miss to accomplish, is bullet number 2: How to make a client connect to the next server, without trying the server he was connected to in the 1st place. This is useful, for example: Imagine a server has a network issue of some sort, and a ping-timeout happens on the client (normal behavior). Now what the client actually does, is 1st try to connect to the same server, which is down. Although the client will eventually connect to the next server, it will take some time to figure out that the current server is actually down, thus leaving the network behind the client, without a working tunnel for longer.
