Hi!
Background information on why I can't use the --nobind option can be found on the mailing list https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/openvpn-users/thread/KgsKMZk--3-0%40keemail.me/#msg35767686
Basically I can not alter the server configuration.
I start and stop a large number of client connections, with the same client, in a short time.
With --nobind, the servers IP pool is quickly exhausted. Using static ports with --lport, this can be prevented, as the same IPs are reissued for the client/port.
Thanks for the server config suggestion.

Perhaps, if you identify that you can solve your problem ..
Using
Server: --topology subnet --server {subnet} 255.255.0.0 --duplicate-cn
--keepalive 3 15
Client: --nobind --client
Should, theoretically, allow you to dis/re-connect 1000+ times per
minute, indefinitely.

I can not use --nobind, as I connect/disconnect/reconnect a large
number of times, which completely exhausts my IP pool on the server
within minutes. This topic was discussed earlier on the mailing list
in case you missed it. Thank you for the suggestion though, would be
a perfect solution, if I didn't have the issue with the IP pool
exhaustion.
