OpenVPN Support Forum

I just installed patchstick on my ATV wanting to use the openVPN script. I then signed up to use WiTopia which allows to have vpn configuration files for both a UK ip address as well as a US ip address. In the installation instructions, it's mentioned that one must change the name of the configuration file to “vpn.conf”

Well, I want to take advantage of both a UK ip address (for the BBC) and a US ip address (for Hulu). I used WiTopia’s website to create two different configuration files. I obviously can’t rename them both “vpn.conf” Can I name them vpnus.conf and vpnuk.conf, install them in the proper place, and then choose which configuation file is utilized when I need a country specific ip address? Do I need to "write / edit" a script to have such a choice?

I don't know how the program you're talking about is implemented. Specific to OpenVPN, when OpenVPN is run from the command line, a configuration can be called in, and it can be named anything you want.

openvpn -config <file_name_of_my_choice>

To help you further, we'd need to be familiar with how OpenVPN is executed on the box in question.
