I'm confused to say the least.....
That makes two. I've just installed openvpn here, and it should say
root@vusolo4k:~# /etc/init.d/openvpn status
Usage: /etc/init.d/openvpn {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload}
root@vusolo4k:~#
as appearently the init script doesn't have the function "status" implemented.

I've checked the kernel defconfig for the osmini, tun is implemented as an external module, so you should have that installed"
opkg install kernel-module-tun
but if that is not installed,
modprobe tun lsmod
should give an error and not show "tun" as a loaded module.

Ok i really don't want to cause any arguments here. BUT!!! I finally made some progress. I should point out I'm running ubuntu, not sure if that makes a difference anyway when i run
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
the script runs in the background. While it's running i have my new vpn ip address, however the second i kill the script it reverts to my actual ip. is there anyway of automatically running the script so I'm not dependant on running it manually?

Eh... ???
You lost me now. I thought we're talking about openvpn on an osmini running OpenPLi, not a PC running Ubuntu?
On the box afaik it uses files with a conf extension, so client.conf, not client.ovpn.
edit: yes, see https://github.com/O...vpn/openvpn#L48

ok it's failed again.
Posted Today, 22:03
ok so i decided to start from scratch. I flashed my box to the current openpli version. After that i ran: opkg update then opkg upgrade and finally i ran opkg install openvpn. So far so good. Then i uploaded both the client.ovpn and auth.txt file's to the openvpn folder. Still good. then i finally ran openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn. Still okay but when i ran the final command openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn in a terminal window it stays running in the background, this gives me my fake vpn address but the second i close the openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn window it reverts back to my physical ip address. Any tips guys?

is there any way of running openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn on startup?
Posted Today, 22:09
runs too
Posted Today, 22:24
okay so
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
works for a while but then it keeps dropping the ip address.Can one of you even hint at where I'm going wrong?

ok it's been running now for almost 25 minutes without a problem EXCEPT that i need to keep the terminal i launched it from in Linux. once again is there any way of running openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn on startup?
