Post by: insecure on September 21, 2020, 04:59:38 pm

Hi Marc,

You can use this then: https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/cf1f4e00b9

# opnsense-patch cf1f4e00b9

Then use the "vpnid" of the OpenVPN instance to restart...

# pluginctl -s openvpn restart 2

Omitting the id will will use the first one it matches. Not a lot of services use this id technique.


Cheers,
Franco

i cant find it in pluginctl. you can try

Code: [Select]

php -r "require_once '/usr/local/etc/inc/config.inc'; require_once '/usr/local/etc/inc/util.inc'; require_once '/usr/local/etc/inc/interfaces.inc'; require_once '/usr/local/etc/inc/plugins.inc.d/openvpn.inc'; openvpn_configure_single([i]vpninstanseid[/i]);"where vpninstanseid is <vpnid> of server instance in config file

checked. works great. a little clarification on the syntax. instance id should be the last:
# pluginctl -s openvpn restart 2

(because of $filter['id'] = $args[2])

Right, sorry, I forgot "restart" in the post.
