I use it for site to site VPN. System-wide should be connections, which are not user-dependent (i.e. connections, which starts immediately after system boot up. - as typical for servers). Unlike user connections, which are activated only after the user logs in. And what I saw somewhere was that VPN connections can only be of the second kind - user initiated. But maybe it was some old information and now system-wide VPN connection is now also possible?

I have always preferred network-scripts over NetworkManager on the server, for its reliability and stability. And why should a useless program run on the server when I only need to activate the interface at startup and then nothing else? (a few (10?) years back I had an unpleasant experience with the NetworkManager when, after restarting a remote multihome server, it set the routing so badly that the machine became unreachable. Is it time to trust him again?). -- Thanks, Franta Hanzlik -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
