Openvpn 3 linux - configuration file importer

Usage

openvpn3 {config-import -c FILE | --config FILE [{-n NAME | --name NAME}] [{-p | --persistent}]}

openvpn3 {config-import -h | --help}

Overview

Any VPN connection is based on a VPN configuration profile, which are managed by the OpenVPN 3 Configuration Manager. The openvpn3 config-import command enables pre-loading a configuration file into the configuration manager where additional host specific adjustments can be added on top of the imported configuration, in addition to grant access to the profile to other users.

Options

-h, --help

Print usage and help details to the terminal

-c FILE, --config FILE

File name of the configuration profile to import

-n NAME, --name NAME

Each configuration profile carries a human readable name. The default value is the configuration profile file name, but can be amended during import with this option.

-p, --persistent

By default, the configuration profile is kept in memory only, and it is wiped when the configuration manager service restarts. When adding this option the profile becomes persistent and will be automatically loaded each time the configuration manager starts.

--tag TAGNAME

Attach a tag label to the imported configuration file. This may be used multiple times to add more tags.
