Using client-config-dir files
In a setup where a single server can handle many clients, it is sometimes necessary to set per-client options that overrule the global options. The client-config-dir option is very useful for this. It allows the administrator to assign a specific IP address to a client; to push specific options, such as compression and DNS server, to a client; or to temporarily disable a client altogether.
Getting ready
This recipe is a continuation of the previous one. Install OpenVPN 2.3.9 or higher on two computers. Make sure the computers are connected over a network. Set up the client and server certificates using the previous recipe. For this recipe, the server computer was running CentOS 6 Linux and OpenVPN 2.3.9 and the client was running Fedora 20 Linux and OpenVPN 2.3.9. Keep the server configuration file, basic-udp-server.conf, at hand along with the client configuration file, basic-udp-client.conf, from the Server-side routing recipe.
