Creating a script to automate the installation of OpenVPN 3 Client for Linux on APT-based systems is a useful task. Below is a basic example of such a script.

#!/bin/bash

# Check if script is run as root or with sudo
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "This script must be run as root or with sudo."
exit 1
fi

# Update package list and install required packages
apt update
apt install -y openvpn3

# Create a new VPN profile (you can modify this as needed)
openvpn3 session-start --config /path/to/your/config.ovpn

# Enable and start the OpenVPN 3 service (adjust service name as needed)
systemctl enable openvpn3-client@your-profile-name.service
systemctl start openvpn3-client@your-profile-name.service

# Print a message indicating success
echo "OpenVPN 3 Client is installed and configured."

# Optionally, you can add more configurations or customize the script further.

Remember to thoroughly test your script in a controlled environment before using it in a production or critical context. www.mybkexperience.com
Script automation can be powerful, but it's essential to ensure that it behaves as expected and doesn't cause unintended issues on target systems.
