Re: Win - Mac - BSD Block traffic when VPN disconnects

Using the post below, all my traffic dies except internal when the VPN is inactive. Thank you!

Beyond that, I have added the below script to my crontab, it runs every 10 minutes. If the vpn is down, it restarts it and checks for status.

I know it should be in a try loop, but this was quick & dirty.

<code>

#!/bin/bash

function pingtest {

echo

if ping -c 2 google.com > /dev/null; then

echo '-----------------------------------------------------------------------'

echo `date` 'VPN operational'

echo '-----------------------------------------------------------------------'

else

echo '-----------------------------------------------------------------------'

echo `date` 'VPN not operational, reconnecting to VPN.'

echo '-----------------------------------------------------------------------'

# killing openvpn if it is still running

killall openvpn

sleep 10

# starting openvpn

openvpn /archives/scripts/Air443.ovpn >> /var/log/openvpn.log &

sleep 15

pingtest

fi

}

pingtest >> /var/log/openvpn.log
