On my test server, in VPN > Openvpn > I did an "Add OpenVPN entry" for the server. It seemed to go ok.
I then proceeded to do one for the client, with the intention of copying the .up and .conf file to the remote client when configuring openvpn on that.
However, i noticed that the local lan stopped working after adding this entry on the server, and it was because it added a route for my local lan to go via the Tun interface. This conflicted with the existing local lan route pointing to eth0.


I presume therefore, that i'm not supposed to even attempt to setup a openvpn entry for a client on the server. This might seem obvious to some people, but i though that for every client connecting, there needs to be a client entry on the server. I must be wrong, perhaps i should be making multiple server entries, one for each remote client connecting, and each with a different Local Name, Local VPN point and port number. Is that what I should do?

The danger of what i did should be made clearer in the online help to avoid anyone else making this mistake. Assuming it was a mistake!
