This script allows you to easily connect to and disconnect from an OpenVPN server using a YAML configuration file.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed
• pyyaml module installed (pip install pyyaml)
• sudo access to run the script with administrative privileges

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the vpn_connect.py script to your local machine.

2. Install the required Python module:

   pip install pyyaml

Usage

1. Create a YAML configuration file with the VPN details.

   Example YAML file (vpn_config.yml):

   USA:
     path to file: /home/user/vpns/usa.ovpn
     username: 118fcg0b10999b742796q7fd0551b77d
     password: 0000000021dbc5ce8b4555d92d6wsc5f7a38079836e7e986

   Make sure to replace the placeholders with the actual values of your VPN configuration.

2. To connect to the VPN:

   python vpn.py vpn_config.yml connect

   The script will read the configuration file and establish the VPN connection in the background.

3. To disconnect from the VPN:

   python vpn_connect.py disconnect

   The script will terminate the OpenVPN connection.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter any errors while running the script, please ensure that you have the necessary permissions to run the script with sudo.

• Double-check your YAML configuration file for any formatting issues. Ensure that the indentation is done using tabs (not spaces) consistently.
