Install OpenVPN-2.3.7 from source and enable at startup help
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2015 6:20 pm
Hi, I have installed OpenVPN version 2.3.7 tar.gz for Linux, downloaded from here: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sour ... loads.html
OpenVPN is being installed and it seems to work, however, it is not run as a daemon. If I issue the command:
service opnvpn status / start / stop
it says: "openvpn : unrecognized service"
The only way I can run it is by using the command:
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf --daemon
But I would like to use the service command and it must start automatically at system startup. How can I achieve that?
The commands I issued to install version 2.3.7 are:
./configure
make
make install
