ANSWERED Automatic start on boot stunnel en openvpn

[johndoe_01 3]

Is there a way to start stunnel and openvpn (to establish a ssl connection) on boot, without use of the client ?

 

Regards...

Define without use of the client. Without the AirVPN client (Eddie) or without a client at all?

You should either make a scheduled task or a cron job, depends on which OS you are, or place

both stunnel and openvpn clients on your router. The client run somewhere, thou.

Indeed, I mean without Eddie. I prepared my router and it worked for all the other configurations, but it is a problem with SSH or SSL (is disabled when preparing the configuration files). So I want the connection started at boot (Linux Mint) and need some help or ideas.

I found the solution It was very simple.

 

install if needed stunnel (apt-get install stunnel)

 

renamed :

• AirVPN_SSL-443.ovpn to airvpn.conf
• AirVPN_SSL-443.ssl to stunnel.conf

copied

• airvpn.conf to /etc/openvpn
• stunnel.conf to /etc/stunnel
• stunnel.crt to /etc/stunnel

edit :

• /etc/default/openvpn and add the line #AUTOSTART="home office" to #AUTOSTART="airvpn"  and remove the #
• /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf and change the line CAfile = stunnel.crt to CAfile = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.crt
• /etc/default/stunnel4 and change the line ENABLED=0 to ENABLED=1 (to enable stunnel automatic startup)

Then reboot and everything is working.
