in configuration 'remote' and then filename contains address

seandex

hello community,

i have question regarding the .ovpn configuration file and 'remote' function.

ususally i do
--------------------------

remote 123.45.67.89

but is there a way to connect to server using file name?

for example,
-==============

remote filenamecontainaddress.txt

something like that. using external filename instead of putting ipaddress in .ovpn

i have not tried but is it possible?

Thanks alot.

No. But it should not be terribly difficult to create a script to pull the info out of a text file and store it in the config file.

Edit:

Also, you can do multiple lines and add remote-random to have the OpenVPN program select randomly from the list of remote entries in the config file. Or leave remote-random out and it'll just go through the list sequentially starting at the top and working its way down.
