OpenVPN3 Easy Connect

A shell script for easily connecting and disconnecting sessions with OpenVPN3

Usage is simple:

• Provide your client.ovpn file's location on line 4 of this script.
• Optionally, provide your temp file location. By default, this is /tmp.
  • This is used to capture, store and use the current openvpn3 session's ID when ./ovpn.sh connect is passed.
  • None of these files are retained.
• chmod +x ./ovpn.sh. Optionally, you can mv ovpn.sh ovpn.
• Place the script somewhere in your PATH. $HOME/.local/bin/ works nicely.

This script accepts three arguments:

• ./ovpn.sh connect will take you through connecting to your OpenVPN connection. See the script for comments on functionality.
• ./ovpn.sh disconnect will iterate through active openvpn3 sessions, and disconnect them all in succession.
• ./ovpn.sh list will list the current openvpn3 sessions.
• If you forget the above, running ovpn.sh without any parameters passed to it will advise you on what the available options are.

Have fun!
