Hi @ all !

I'm new here and i got a question !

I'm using a raspberry pi running the lates version of wheezy. I recently tried to connect it the a OpenVPN server. It was relatively easy. But dhclient was not starting automatically. So the problem is: after every reboot i have to run dhclient manually.

Is their a way to trigger "dhclient tap0" automatically after openvpn is connected ?

config:

Code: Select all

client
dev tap
proto tcp
remote xxxxxxxxxxxx
resolve-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
pkcs12 xxxxxxxx.p12
comp-lzo
verb 3
remote-cert-tls server
status /var/log/openvpn_berlin.log
dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8

Thanks to everybody who is trying to help!

so it first tries to get ip than creates the tap.
