General Discussion / Scheduled OpenVPN client reconnect

« on: August 07, 2024, 01:57:19 pm »

I'm running an OpenVPN client on opnsense to a VPN provider for all my network devices to share. I would like to reconnect daily to refresh the IP. Looking at the standard Cron options there is 'Periodic interface reset' which doesn't seem to create a new IP when used on the VPN interface. I see there is also 'Restart Wireguard'. But nothing for OpenVPN by default.

Can anyone offer a suitable command and parameters to cron an OpenVPN disconnect / reconnect? Any help greatly appreciated.
