openvpn3 session-start
[OPTIONS]
openvpn3 session-start
-h
| --help
This starts a new VPN session, which means a VPN client process is started, it gathers needed credentials, connects to the remote server and configures a VPN interface with the VPN IP address, network routes and possibly DNS settings on this host.
-h, --help | Print usage and help details to the terminal |
-c CONFIG-FILE, --config CONFIG-FILE | |
Name of the configuration profile to start. The
session-start command will first look for matching
configuration profile names pre-loaded into the configuration
manager. If not found, it will attempt to load and parse a
configuration file on the file system. | |
-p CONFIG-DBUS-PATH, --config-path CONFIG-DBUS-PATH | |
Can be used instead of --config where the D-Bus path to
the configuration profile in the configuration manager is given
instead. Use openvpn3 configs-list to retrieve a list of
available configuration paths. | |
--persist-tun | Can be used together with --config to ensure the connection
will not tear-down the virtual VPN interface when reconnecting.
See openvpn3-config-manage for details. |
--timeout SECS | Defines how long it will attempt to establish a connection before aborting. Default is to never time out. |
--background | Starts the connection in the background after basic user
credentials has been provided. Using this option will require
to use openvpn3 session-manage (1) for further interaction
with the session. |
--dco BOOL | Enable kernel based Data Channel Offload for this session only. This moves the tunnelled network traffic to be handled inside the kernel. This improves the processing of the network traffic and moves the encryption, decryption and packet authentication for the tunnelled network traffic to be handled inside the kernel instead of begin passed via the OpenVPN client process in user space. This option is only available if openvpn3-linux has been built with this support.
