Post VPN Login actions

[nappy_d]

Hi all,

I am new OpenVPN and loving it so far!

What I would like to do is to add a popup window with URLs for access behind my VPN.

Can someone direct me on how to make this work?

Great you are loving OpenVPN.

After initialisation you can run a script to to something, in your case it could be creating a pop-up:

Code: Select all

--up cmd
Run command cmd after successful TUN/TAP device open (pre --user UID change).

cmd consists of a path to script (or executable program), optionally followed by arguments. The path and arguments may be single-  or  double-quoted  and/or escaped using a backslash, and should be separated by one or more spaces.

Be aware you need to set

Code: Select all

script-security=2

to make this work.

Thanks for the reply, but have some really silly questions ,
- which file do I need to make those changes in
- at what line(s)
- in which directory

- which file do I need to make those changes in

the client-configfile for openvpn

- at what line(s)

The end of the file should be fine

- in which directory

I shoud guess the place where it is right now.
If you are completing the "--up <script>" you obviously use the full path to the script which shows the pop-up.
