DEBIAN 8 - Startup eddie on boot ?

[kranon 0]

Hi, 

 

I´m configuring a headless server (old laptop) running debain jessie. The idea is to wake it over LAN and have the server boot up eddie on startup with network lock enabled so the daemons starting can only get wan over airvpn. 

 

Whats the best way to do this ? So far there seem to be a couple of options :

 

1. Add eddie to startup applications in gnome-tweak-tools.

2. Write a script in init.d (difficult for me)

3. Use the openvpn daemon instead and set fixed iptables rules

 

What I want to manage here is to prevent any wan connections outside of the tunnel on startup. If eddie kicks in after for example transmission-daemon starts there will be a leak. 

 

Would be great if somebody could point me in the right direction.

1 seems to be the easiest step. Think about the options Eddie accepts in the CLI version and add the desired ones to the startup command. airvpn -cli -netlock -login xxx -password xxx -servers xxx ... etc etc.

I have made some tests with the cli version. So far I managed to add the gui version to the startup programs but I'm unsure how to invoqur the cli version on bootup

-cli option does this. Don't forget it.

Is not really secure to send password directly into a command line (anyone who can show process list can get the password), the best way is using a file (with good file access permissions).
