2nd tun network for openvpn?


I need to run a 2nd instance of openvpn on my server so that it can run on udp. The current one runs on tcp and I need to keep that running.
Apparently, I need to create a 2nd tun network for it to use - how can I do that?
I tried starting a 2nd instance of openvpn but it just seems to hang.

You need to add another tun device lookup adding tun devices, then you need to configure the openvpn instance to use the new tun device. My only experience with OpenVPN I use a tap device, far more reliable in my opinion, that makes it real easy becasue you can name the tap device and define it in the configuration file.
