380.59: OpenVPN option "remote"

hw1380

Regular Contributor
I moved to a new VPN provider and the ovpn configuration file contains multiple "remote" options.
According to the openvpn documentation, if multiple remote options are specified, the client moves to the next client in the list in the event of connection failure.
I'm not sure if this works because I found only one remote host in the GUI, in the ovpn configuration in /tmp/etc/openvpn/client1/config.ovpn and with "nvram get vpn_client1_addr".

Does this mean that multiple remote options are not supported ?
 
As far as I know it (and I may very well be wrong), I believe the OpenVPN implementation in Merlin's firmware will allow you to only specify 1 target remote server for connection. Hence why Merlin has given us multiple "profiles" in the VPN client tab, so you can specify multiple targets.
 
You could try entering them in the Custom section, however I'm not entirely sure if it will properly reapply them at reboot.
