OpenVPN configuration files naming scheme
The naming convention for the configuration files occurs in the fashion of including both endpoints of the tunnel in the filename itself. The name of both endpoints will be separated by a dash with the server name first. OpenVPN requires that one end point of the tunnel have a remote x.x.x.x (end point IP or DNS record) to point to the server that lacks a destination remote flag in the server configuration file. Both the client and server configuration files cannot contain the remote x.x.x.x flag.
Example: |
--> |
<server>-<client>.conf |
--- --- --- |
--> |
bone-node666.conf |
Server (bone) |
<--> |
Client (Node666) |
No remote x.x.x.x flag |
<--> |
Contains remote flag. remote bone.personaltelco.net |
