If you run OpenVPN at –verb 4, you will see the message “Replay-window backtrack occurred [x]” every time the maximum sequence number backtrack seen thus far increases. This can be used to calibrate n. In this guide, I’ll show you an easy way to have OpenVPN Server installed on Ubuntu 20.04/18.04/16.04 and ready for clients to start using it.

Because the OpenVPN server mode handles multiple clients through a single tun or tap interface, it is effectively a router. The --client-to-client flag tells OpenVPN to internally route client-to-client traffic rather than pushing all client-originating traffic to the TUN/TAP interface.

If you run OpenVPN at –verb 4, you will see the message “Replay-window backtrack occurred [x]” every time the maximum sequence number backtrack seen thus far increases. This can be used to calibrate n.
