I read this tutorial to create an OpenVPN server, it worked perfectly and was configured correctly.
Now I want to create a new OpenVPN server, with a different IP to access other services and to be used by other users.
Is it safe to just create a snapshot of the original Droplet with OpenVPN, create a new Droplet using that snapshot and delete existing users and change connection IP in ovpn files?

Hi there,
Yes, this should work as expected with a snapshot.
Alternatively, what I usually do is to use this 1-Click installation for OpenVPN available on the DigitalOcean Marketplace:
