Re: [qubes-users] A way to restart VpnVM same as can reload/restart tor?

So perhaps I could combine the two lines you wrote to make it a bit shorter? alias rstopvn="sudo pkill openvpn && sudo /rw/config/rc.local" maybe? In this case using a ';' semicolon between the commands instead of '&&' makes sense, because openvpn may not be already running. BTW, another thing you could do instead is to add an infinite loop to the end of rc.local: while true; do sg qvpn -c "$VPN_CLIENT $VPN_OPTIONS" done Yet another thing you can try (because I'm recalling my early experiences with openvpn) is to comment-out the "persist tun" line in your ovpn file. Openvpn can experience problems trying to re-use tun devices, and that can cause it to quit when trying to re-connect. This is the simplest remedy. -- Chris Laprise, tas...@openmailbox.org https://twitter.com/ttaskett PGP: BEE2 20C5 356E 764A 73EB 4AB3 1DC4 D106 F07F 1886 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Of course, sys-net also has to make its connection after wake from sleep before openvpn can re-connect. So check first that the problem isn't with the sys-net connection. -- Chris Laprise, tas...@openmailbox.org https://twitter.com/ttaskett PGP: BEE2 20C5 356E 764A 73EB 4AB3 1DC4 D106 F07F 1886 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Is there a way to restart OpenVPN in the VpnVM with a command instead of haveing to either shutdown or switch all VMs that are using the VpnVM (as a netvm), then restarting the VpnVM (kind of a pain). Thx It depends on how you set up the VPN. If you used the Qubes doc instructions then you would need to open a terminal and do something like: $ sudo pkill openvpn $ sudo /rw/config/rc.local Its also possible to change the rc.local script so it runs openvpn from a terminal window so you can easily see the status, stop it, etc. OTOH, if you used instructions that include a systemd service like this: https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support ...then you can simply use 'systemctl' functions like stop/start/status to control openvpn. -- Chris Laprise, tas...@openmailbox.org https://twitter.com/ttaskett PGP: BEE2 20C5 356E 764A 73EB 4AB3 1DC4 D106 F07F 1886 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
