Within the CA, you can also revoke certificates as needed. Using your preferred CA management tool, you should be able to generate a Certificate Revocation List (CRL file). Adding this to the OpenVPN server should cause all client certificates to be checked against this revocation list. Clients which have their certificates listed in the CRL will not be able to connect. This is a common way to disable access to a VPN service on a per-user level. | Within the CA, you can also revoke certificates as needed.

If you want to access particular network resources fromk other IP addresses through the VPN tunnel, you need to add network routes. A route tells your system where it needs to send network traffic in order to access certain resources. An operating system can handle multiple routes via multiple gateways at the same time. So if you have a server on 192.168.1.10 behind your VPN server and you want to access this server via the VPN, you need to tell OpenVPN to configure a route for either a specific host or a network range to go via the tunnel. | If you want to access particular network resources fromk other IP addresses through the VPN tunnel, you need to add network routes.
