Fix tun name

ouafnico

Hello

With Centos7 and SystemD, now each conf for openvpn have his dedicated service.
During the startup for some reasons I ignore, the service did not start in the same order : so tunX interfaces are inverted.

This is a problem for iptables rules, because on Centos it uses firewalld, where interfaces names are organised in "zones".

Can we specify a tun name for each openvpn configuration ? To avoid the change during the boot ?

Thanks

With arch-Linux systemd and openvpn I use this in config files:

dev tun37

where 37 is an example of the fixed tun interface I wish to use.

See --dev in The Manual v23x

Works perfectly 😉
I didn't know I can add a number after tun on conf file.

Thanks 🙂
