Multiple OpenVPN tunnels
74+
------------------------

If a NethSecurity must act as the VPN server for multiple remote firewalls, create a dedicated OpenVPN tunnel for each remote peer.

The UI-supported and recommended model is one server/client pair per site-to-site connection, for example, a central firewall connected to three remote firewalls should have three separate OpenVPN server tunnels, each with its own client configuration imported on the corresponding remote firewall.
77+
78+
This approach allows each tunnel to be managed independently, with separate configuration, certificates, routes, status, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
79+
It also prevents issues on one remote connection from affecting the operational management of the others.
