Hi,

I have configured openvpn and from luci it works. I can press a button to connect and disconnect.

Now I would like to do that from the command line and I cannot figure out how to do that.

running “/etc/init.d/openvpn start” does not seem to do anything…

display all instances configured in UCI section of openvpn

# uci show openvpn | grep =openvpn
openvpn.custom_config=openvpn
openvpn.sample_server=openvpn
openvpn.sample_client=openvpn
openvpn.MY_VPN=openvpn

so after to start

/etc/init.d/openvpn   start MY_VPN

and to stop

/etc/init.d/openvpn stop MY_VPN
