Simple all you need to a .conf file in /etc/openvpn and the daemon will startup when booting. However when running a bridged vpn one is required to start the bridge first: <a href="http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/miscellaneous/ethernet-bridging.html" rel="ugc">http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/miscellaneous/ethernet-bridging.html</a><br />
<br />
The OpenVPN bridge can now be started and stopped using this sequence::<br />
* run bridge-start<br />
* run openvpn<br />
* stop openvpn<br />
* run bridge-stop<br />
<br />
The question is how can I have the bridge-start script run before the daemon starts openvpn when then server boots ?<br />
<br />
Is it advisable or safe to edit the script /etc/init.d/openvpn ?<br />
<br />
Always appreciative...<br />

Bridge-Start Script Sequense Before OPENVPN on boot

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
