Openvpn 3 access server profile downloader

Usage

openvpn3-as [OPTIONS] URL

openvpn3-as {-h | --help}

Overview

This utility can download a configuration profile directly from an OpenVPN Access Server. It requires an URL to the Access Server and will query the user for authentication credentials before connecting to the server.

Options

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--autologin

Download the auto-login profile (default: user-login profile). The auto-login profile will not ask the user for credentials before connecting to the Access Server, but this feature may not be available for all user profiles.

--systemd-start

Start the downloaded profile automatically after downloading it, using the systemd [email protected] unit file; see the openvpn3-systemd(1) man page for details. Enabling this will also start this unit file at boot. This requires openvpn3-as to be run as root.

--impersistent

Do not import the configuration profile as a persistent profile (default: persistent)

--name CONFIG-NAME

Override the automatically generated profile name (default: AS:$servername)

--owner USERNAME

Transfer the ownership of the downloaded configuration profile to USERNAME. This requires openvpn3-as to be run as root. This is useful when used together with --systemd-start.

--username USERNAME

Username to use for OpenVPN Access Server login

--insecure-certs

Accept invalid and potentially insecure TLS server certificates. This is typically needed if the Access Server uses a self-signed certificate or issued by a Certificate Authority not known by the system. Use this feature carefully.
