Auto connection and disconnection

[deleted]

Hi all,
I need to schedule auto connection and auto disconnection from my vpn. Is it possible configure it using windows shell bat?

For example:

[CONNECTION]
cd C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin
openvpn.exe --client-connect <profile-name>

[DISCONNECTION]
cd C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin
openvpn.exe --client-disconnect

Is it ok?

Thanks a lot

Not like that :roll:

See --client-connect and --client-disconnect in The Manual v23x

I used folowing script to start openvpn:

cd "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config"
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn.exe" --config my-openvpn.ovpn

It is perfect but I don't know how to disconnect my vpn...
I must click F4 button on keyword to terminate connection.

How can I simulate signal from shell script?

Thanks

I need to emulate f4 command on wondow prompt and generate disconnection of my openvpn-client.

If I use CTRL+C, follow openvpn connection have problem 🙁

If I use F4 I read into shell:
SIGTERM received, sending exit notifica
closing tun tap interface

How can I execute these commands from dos prompt shell?

Thanks

You can telnet into your server and issue a SIGTERM signal.

To do so you need to enable the openvpn management port.

See --management in The Manual v23x
