Hi everyone
I’m trying to start a VPN connection through a shell script but I
can’t run it in background, I’ve tried with:
sudo openvpn --config "/home/user/config.ovpn" &
sudo openvpn --config "/home/user/config.ovpn" >/dev/null 2>&1
tried adding --daemon ?
However, the best way is to rely on your system to launch a daemon
(i.e. via systemd or openrc)
if you insist on running things as a "mere mortal" you could also use
the NetworkManager to stop and start OpenVPN connections. This can be
done using the 'nmcli' as well using
nmcli con up <name of NetworkManager entry>
you can import an OpenVPN config into the NetworkManager using
nmcli con import type openvpn file bla.opvn
