ANSWERED Auto start and connect after reboot on raspberry pi

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to automatically connect to airvpn server Cephei if I reboot raspberry pi.

 

I've got the configuration file and renamed to ***.conf and placed it in /etc/openvpn/ folder. From what I've read it should pick up the conf file at startup and connect, but it doesn't.

 

Am I missing a step? I've read different variations on how to setup...

 

Running Raspbian on my pi

 

Thanks for the help

You download the configuration file for your preferred server and then rename the file extension from *ovpn to *conf and move it to /etc/openvpn/

 

Then

sudo nano /etc/default/openvpn

 

Look for

#AUTOSTART="servername"

 

Uncomment to look like

AUTOSTART="servername"

 

Replace "servername" with whatever server configuration file you generated mines is "AirVPN_Cephei"

Leave out the .conf

 

Ctrl X and save changes. Now it should connect to your server after rebooting.

 

Hope this helps someone
