👑 openvpn3-config-import(1) — the OpenVPN 3 Linux glow-up page ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the OpenVPN 3 Linux manual, and it's all about openvpn3-config-import — the little command that yeets your VPN config file into the configuration manager. let's get into it 💅

🌸 Name 🌸

openvpn3-config-import — OpenVPN 3 Linux - Configuration File Importer

like. the name is literally the job description. iconic behavior 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

openvpn3 config-import -c FILE | --config FILE [-n NAME | --name NAME] [-p | --persistent]
openvpn3 config-import -h | --help

so you got two moods: actually importing a file and asking for help. pick your fighter 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea 🍵 — every single VPN connection is built on top of a VPN configuration profile, and those profiles are managed by the OpenVPN 3 Configuration Manager. that's just how it is, no cap.

and the openvpn3 config-import command? it's the one that pre-loads a configuration file into the configuration manager. why do we love her? because once it's in there you can:

  • slap on extra host specific adjustments</c> right on top of the imported configuration 🛠️
  • and also grant access to the profile to other users — sharing is caring, periodt 👑

it's giving main character energy for your whole VPN setup, fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — prints the usage and help details straight to your terminal. the "bestie explain" button 🫶
  • -c FILE, --config FILE — the file name of the configuration profile you wanna import. this is the whole point, babe 📂
  • -n NAME, --name NAME — every configuration profile carries a human readable name. the default value is literally just the configuration profile file name, but you can amend it during import with this option. name her whatever you want, she's yours now ✨
  • -p, --persistent — okay listen. by default the configuration profile is kept in memory only, and it gets wiped when the configuration manager service restarts 😭 (rip). but when you add this option the profile becomes persistent and will be automatically loaded every single time the configuration manager starts. she lives here now 💀🔥
  • --tag TAGNAME — attaches a tag label to the imported configuration file 🏷️. and you can use this multiple times to add more tags. collect them all, iykyk 🌈
