Hello to the OpenVPN community,
I'm facing a weird issue here: I don't have (or let's say I can't find) my server.conf file.
Please notde that my OpenVPN is working fine, I have no issue. But I wish to change some settings in my conf and I can't.
1/ how I got my OpenVPN running:
first, I did install OpenVPN & openvpn-as on a VPS running Debian Jessie, with the 2 command lines with a ssh connection from my personal computer (running Mint 19.2):
apt-get install openvpn
dpkg -i openvpnas2.x
(x is linked to the available package at the time of the install)
>> got my 2 URLs
then created my openvpn password.
I did create an new user from my admin console with success, I did add this user in my Debian as well and provided the rights riquired.
I was able to get my client.conf file and connect to my frehly installed OpenVPN server.
Everything was successful.
2/ I wanted to change some openvpn server settings... and 'drama' begins:
of Iooked first in etc/openvpn/ and all I can find there is update-resolv.conf
then I did search for the file elsewhere, but no joy.
Of course, I did as recommended in this forum:
grep -vE '^#|^;|^$' server.conf
>> says doesn't exist
I decided to 'track' my openvpn to find its pid:
ps -faux grep -i "open"
once found the right pid, thought I could find where server.conf is called using the command:
lsof -p pid
and still no server.conf
3/ what shall I do then?
I'd like to
edit my server.conf order to check few things, such as
change the verbose default (3), but as far as I can't find the conf, I have no idea whatelse I can do to change verb value.
Thank you for reading I did my best to provide enough details and still remain 'easy' to read.
I keep my fingers crossed that someone here will be able to provide an explaination of the 'missing' server.conf and how to find its equivalent if any or how to change my conf.
Regards,
T
