There are some rare cases where you might want to add more connections (Server/client) that the GUI allows you to define. First of all hyou should question yourself if you're using the right technology as for numerous site-to-site connection you'll find tinc a better/easier technology.

That said find here an example that allows you to define a “Server3”:

mkdir /tmp/etc/openvpn/server3/ cd /tmp/etc/openvpn ln -s /usr/sbin/openvpn vpnserver3 cd /tmp/etc/openvpn/server3 echo “daemon ifconfig 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.2 proto udp port 1195 dev tun23 cipher AES-128-CBC keepalive 15 60 verb 3 secret static.key status-version 2 status status script-security 2 route 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 fast-io persist-tun” > /tmp/etc/openvpn/server3/config.ovpn chmod 777 /tmp/etc/openvpn/server3/config.ovpn

sleep 10

cp /etc/openvpn/server1/static.key /etc/openvpn/server3/ ##I use the same key as per server1 here /etc/openvpn/vpnserver3 –cd /etc/openvpn/server3 –config config.ovpn
