Openvpn 3 linux vpn client backend starter
Usage
openvpn3-service-backendstart [OPTIONS]
openvpn3-service-backendstart {-h | --help}
Overview
This service is automatically started when the openvpn3-service-sessionmgr requests a new VPN tunnel to be initiated. This service has the responsibility to start the openvpn3-service-client process and provide enough information to it so it can register itself against a session object in the openvpn3-service-sessionmgr service.
This service is normally started automatically when needed, via the net.openvpn.v3.backendstart.service auto-start configuration by the dbus-daemon(1), but can also be started manually on the command line. Beware that running this with another user account than _openvpn also requires updating the D-Bus policy as well.
