This document is concerned with setting up an openvpn server (which I have running on a CentOS machine without problem). I was talking about running an openvpn _client_ on a Fedora machine. The only advice in the document about this is ---------------------------------- to start a connection, run systemctl start openvpn@foo.service, where the connection is defined in /etc/openvpn/foo.conf ---------------------------------- which is exactly what my script above does (with client for foo). Actually, openvpn sometimes stays active when I hibernate, but more often it does not. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
