I have several openvpn .conf files for various vpns, and they all need to have these lines at the end of the file, like
script-security ... setenv PATH ... up ... down ... down-pre ... Is there a way to set this configuration globally across all files or in openvpn somewhere? I don't want to modify any of the individual vpn files if it's possible to configure it someplace centrally or globally.
I'm starting the config files with systemd, so sudo systemctl start [email protected].
You can use the --config command line option multiple times to merge configurations or also include the config option inside a config file to refer to others.
--config option to systemd? I don't want to include the config option inside the config file because there are a lot of config files, I'd rather do it centrally like in some openvpn or systemd central configuration. /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] the systemd unit file you're referring to? How exactly can I modify that file to add the 5 config params I need to from the question? Ideally I could create a single file with just those 5 lines it and refer to it in the unit file so that so I can add just one thing to that unit file instead of 5 things. ExecStart= line to include an extra --config path/to/conf, where you can have as many parameters as you'd like. If your unit doesn't have such line, please add it to the question so I can figure it out, but mine does. Tell me so I can update the answer accordingly...
