[gentoo-user] openvpn multiple tunnels
Used to be you could have multiple tunnels open with vpn. when it changed to require /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf, instead of launching all the tunnels, i can no longer figure out how to open multiple tunnels. the docs seem to mention an /etc/conf.d/openvpn file, but that didn't get created on my system and i can't find any reference to the format/options. can someone point me to a readme or howto on how to start a particular tunnel? thanks. -- John Jolet Your On-Demand IT Department 512-762-0729 www.jolet.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What you need to do is create a tunnelname.conf file for your second tunnel, and then link /etc/init.d/openvpn to /etc/init.d/tunnelname. Then you can start the second tunnel with either /etc/init.d/tunnelname start, or by using rc-update to add tunnelname to the runlevel of your choice. For example: cp /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf /etc/openvpn/homevpn.conf vi /etc/openvpn/homevpn.conf ln -s openvpn /etc/init.d/homevpn rc-update add homevpn default /etc/init.d/homevpn start -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
