ETC

Let’s create a directory to ours opvn files, as root:

mkdir -p /etc/openvpn

Store your opvn files in /etc/openvpn.

Manual

To connect use:

/usr/local/sbin/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/setup.ovpn

If you need to provide a password, use --askpass flag.

/usr/local/sbin/openvpn --askpass --config /etc/openvpn/setup.ovpn

Daemon

Create a hostname file to your new network interface.

touch /etc/hostname.tun0

Edit the hostname.tun0 file.

up
!/usr/local/sbin/openvpn --daemon --config /etc/openvpn/setup.ovpn

Now you can setup your interface.

ifconfig tun0 up
