ANSWERED Config Generator, Router.. more than one server incase one goes down?

[inobody 0]

Hi,

 

I used the Config Generator and choose router and downloaded config file, uploaded into router etc, all is fine just wanted to find out.

 

How can i add more than one remote connection to the config file? for example if the first vpn server fails try the 2nd vpn server and the next etc.

 

In the config file i got from generator the first part shows:

client
dev tun
remote gb.vpn.airdns.org 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
route-delay 5
verb 3
explicit-exit-notify 5
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo no
proto udp
key-direction 1

according to open vpn documentation i should be able to do something like below:

 

remote myvpn.example.com 443 udp
remote myvpn.example.com 80 udp

However this is being loaded onto my asus router running merlin firmware. There is a custom configuration area that allows me to add more config options and using the file from config generator it includes the following:

route-delay 5
explicit-exit-notify 5
remote-cert-tls server

Do i simply just add more as demostrated above from openvpn documentation?? obviously replacing the myvpn.example.com and port/protocol.

 

example:

remote myvpn.example.com 443 udp
remote myvpn.example.com 80 udp
route-delay 5
explicit-exit-notify 5
remote-cert-tls server
 

 

I would appreciate some help with this please. There is one thing i noticed in config generator some servers have more than one entry ip, what does this mean? does this do what i already want if i choose server with more than one entry ip or is it still same server? because i notice i can select a whole country for example as well.

 

Cheers

If you use gb.vpn.airdns.org then it will randomly choose all uk servers

 

But you can mix it too like this uk and se servers

 

remote-random

remote gb.vpn.airdns.org 443

remote se.vpn.airdns.org 443

 

Or like this with specific servers

 

remote-random

remote airvpnserverip 443

remote airvpnserverip 443
