Centos openvpn client

Question

openvpn

Ladies and gentlemen, tell me pliz - how to make him work as a client? So that it starts and creates a connection after reboot on its own. Googled how to set up a million manuals as a server, but as a client, there were only a couple of notes. So we have CentOS 6.2 and openvpn-2.2.1-1.el6.x86_64. I created the /etc/openvpn directory and put the certificates and config there. Openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.config starts fine manually, but how to make it start after a reboot? So that he would read the config. Or does it have some other place for the config / certificates installed by default? Or the init script needs to be edited? Tell me plz.

Answer 1

the default name of the config is .conf. If there is at least one file, the service will be started by the init script. I used .conf and client.conf both work. I also recommend checking chkconfig - openvpn is not loaded by default

Answer 2
