You could try TCP for the OpenVPN if the phones will support it. The vast majority of your traffic will be UDP so you wont get the joy of TCP in TCP exponential standoffs. Cheers Jon The phones do support TCP (an option on a per line basis offers UDP/TCP). Could you clarify what you mean by

OpenVPN allows you to push routes to the client side… not sure if those routes can be bypassed (it other words, if it’s just a rule sent to the client only, or if the firewall actually enforces that rule as well). I’m not sure about the grouping component. But you could define each user with
