    Hello,

    few days ago I asked if there is limitation on how many people can be connected to the VPN at the same time on Cloudron OVPN instance (since on the OVPN Access Servers its max 2 users). And the answer that I got was that its possible to have unlimited concurrent connections as long as hardware supports it.

    Now Im trying to connect to the same server with my phone and my pc and it doesnt allow me. It just switches every 5 seconds between those two itself ?

    Is that a bug or there is something that I need configure or I just got a bad information on cloudron forum?

      Does each device have it's own .ovpn config file?

        @robi nope. Im using one ovpn file for both devices. Is there a way to use one ovpn for multiple devices ? Its kinda bad to have to use different files for every device. Taking also into consideration that you have to have different file for every single server.

          Separate keys for each car pal. Doesn't work otherwise.

            @robi true that, but one car can have multiple keys 🙂

              @santabroo sure, those would be different VPN providers/servers in this case.

                @santabroo I haven't tested but I think if you add duplicate-cn directive in /app/data/openvpn.conf and restart the app, it will support multiple connections on one certificate.
