ANSWERED Failover / Load balanced OVPN setup

[farquaad 14]

Hi all,
I would like to enable a failover configuration with OpenVPN but I am not sure if this can be done.

This article describes how to do it.

Because I want to use AirDNS, I am forced to use IPs so I can't just set the "remote" to "europe3.vpn.airdns.org" as it won't resolve and I'll be stuck in a catch 22.

Would what is described in the document work or are the certificates different on each server making it impossible to do so?

Thanks for your help!

Hello!

It will work. TLS auth and crypt keys and CA certificate are the same on each server.

Kind regards

I can assure you this method works, I’ve used it for close to 8 years
