Only one OpenVPN server?

2021-11-09 22:18:38

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.1

Is it only possible to configure a single OpenVPN server per interface?
I'm trying to set up a distinct OpenVPN server that allows access to a different VLAN, and even though I've set a non-standard port number, I'm still told that "Only one OpenVPN VPN sever can be established on this WAN port. Please change another WAN port."

Does "port" in this case really mean interface? If so, this is a fairly severe limitation.

@ZandrM

TPlink's router seems like are limited to one per WAN port（at least I think so）, can other brands have one per VLAN interface? (just for curious)

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

@Virgo Nothing to do with VLANs, just UDP ports. My pfSense box had different VPNs for different purposes running on 1194/udp, 1195/udp, etc. (I think I had 4 or 5 at one point) I think the Ubiquiti routers could do the same.

I am also wondering, if it would be possible, to run multiple OpenVPN server instances on different ports on the same WAN port. In our setup, the first WAN has a static IP, the second WAN is a backup WAN with CGNAT over LTE; so VPN servers (to different subnets) can only be reachable over the first WAN port - the second WAN port does not have a publicly reachable IP.

Is there no way to run multiple OpenVPN server instances on multiple UDP ports on a single interface?
