Hi Guys,
Is there is a way to config the OPENVPN to run a script after the tunnel is up ?
the script will be like connect the network drive or run a RDP.
I hope someone got this working as I've been working with this for weeks now and can't get it set up.
Thank you

I think you could schedule a task (every 1 min is the lowest if i remember correctly) that runs a powershell or batch script, which verifies if you get an ip address on the OpenVPN interface, confirm that it's working by pinging something on the other side and execute stuff if it does... Just an idea, didn't actually try anything like this.

You can give Viscosity OpenVPN Client a try --> https://www.sparklabs.com/viscosity/features/#experts
Looks like the have the needed feature included:
Script Everything.
Control Viscosity using AppleScript, or call custom AppleScript or Batch/Vbs scripts when a connection connects or disconnects.

Unfortunately, Viscosity is a little unstable occasionally... but you could try to combine the two, of course :)

Yes it does.. not to load one inside viscosity, but use the command line version and get feedback from it to act upon.

You might want to look at this post. This looks like what you are trying to achieve.

Or take a look at this:

If you would like to use the GUI, that can run batch and vbs scripts. You can combine everything to get exactly what you want.
