This new OpenVPN Connect v3 client software offers client connectivity across 4 major platforms. This is the official program that we recommend and support for OpenVPN Access Server and OpenVPN Cloud. The OpenVPN Connect Client is able to remember multiple different servers, but only one can be actively connected at a time. Limiting this to one server makes this much less likely to go wrong. It is very easy therefore to make a mistake and break connectivity or cause traffic to flow to the wrong target.

Connecting to two servers at the same time means there are two different adjustments made to the routing table on the client computer. Trying to connect to two different servers at the same time is a function we did not build into our official OpenVPN Connect Client.

This program is purposefully limited in its functionality in the sense that it only supports one active VPN tunnel at a time. The simplest one, and the one that comes with OpenVPN Access Server itself, is called OpenVPN Connect Client. Official OpenVPN Connect Client in Access Server We advise our official OpenVPN Connect Client that comes bundled with the OpenVPN Access Server. And of course, the reverse, to decrypt the return traffic. Therefore a client program is required that can handle capturing the traffic you wish to send through the OpenVPN tunnel, and encrypting it and passing it to the OpenVPN server. The OpenVPN protocol is not one that is built into macOS. You can find release notes for this version here:
