Well, I could imagine that probably most of the people would call their config file "client.conf",but if some user chooses to give it another name, he is back to square one and has to do steps 4. and 5. anyway. But feel free to file a RFE in the bugzilla for openvpn, maybe the devs will be forthcoming. By the way, I was actually nicely surprised by the fact that since F16 I can run two independent openvpn clients. Before that I had one client, and a whole bunch of permissions-tweaks, to separate the "work" from "home" stuff on the same vpn. Now I just have two independent networks on two different interfaces (tap0 and tap1), two openvpn config files (home.conf and work.conf), and I can happily start/stop either of them (or both) on the same laptop, simply by saying systemctl stop openvpn@work.service systemctl start openvpn@home.service etc., regardless where on the planet I may be physically. Extremely neat, comparing to what I had to do before. So this feature can be actually quite useful, and the only drawback is that setting up openvpn requires two extra steps 4. and 5. above (done only once, of course). I understand that most people probably don't have a need for two or more vpn's, but overall there is really some nonzero benefit from the "new way" of setting up openvpn. Besides, people who are able to configure and run an openvpn client (let alone server) are typically not noobs, and having to create one link to a file as an extra configuration step will not kill them. ;-) But I do understand your side of the story as well, I had to go through it myself... :-) HTH, :-) Marko -- 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?
