OpenVPN3 CLI Tool

Requirements

• openvpn3

Installation

In General

• Download the script: git clone https://github.com/nesto-software/openvpn-nesto-cli.git
• Execute script: ./openvpn-nesto-cli/openvpn-nesto

NixOS (Flake)

Add it to flake inputs:

inputs.openvpn-nesto-cli = {
  url = "github:nesto-software/openvpn-nesto-cli";
};

Add it to outputs:

outputs =
  {
    self,
    home-manager,
    openvpn-nesto-cli,
    # other flake outputs
    ...
  }@inputs:

  {
    nixosConfigurations.<user> = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      modules = [
        # modules
      ];
      specialArgs = {
        inherit inputs;
      };
    };
  };

Add the flake to your installed packages (I have installed it as a home-manager package):

{
  pkgs,
  inputs,
  ...
}:

{
  home.packages = with pkgs; [
    inputs.openvpn-nesto-cli.packages.${pkgs.system}.default
    # other packages
  ];
}

Usage

• To CONNECT press: 1, c or C.
  If you have not provided a OpenVPN config file you will be prompted to enter to your config file (<path>/<filename>.ovpn)

  If you have multiple active sessions only one of them will be closed. In order to close e.g. 3 sessions you need to press 'disconnect' three times.
• to show STATUS press: 3, s, S

  Use this option to change (the path to) your config file.

Preview

Other

Create a shortcut with a command like exec alacritty -e ~/Documents/scripts/openvpn-nesto-cli/openvpn-nesto. This will open a terminal and run the script in it. Replace alacritty with whatever terminal you are using and ~/Documents/scripts/openvpn-nesto-cli/openvpn-nesto with the path to the script on your machine.
