CONNMAN-VPN(8)

💖 CONNMAN-VPN 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for ConnMan-VPN — the VPN management daemon, living in the System Manager's Manual section (8, the big-girl system administration section, we love her) 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, this is the shape of it, no notes:

connman-vpnd [--version|--help]

connman-vpnd [-c file] [-d [file[,...]]] [-p plugin[,...]] [-P
plugin[,...]] [-n]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. The ConnMan-VPN provides a daemon for managing VPN connections, and it does this together with connmand(8) — they're a duo, a duo, a duo 🫶. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible (she's low-maintenance, she's not gonna eat your RAM, she's that girl 💜).

And the VPN daemon supports openconnect(8), openvpn(8), vpnc(8) and L2TP/PPTP (xl2tpd.conf(5), pptp(8), pppd(8)). like, it's giving range. it's giving versatility. slay 🔥

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

these are the options she supports, and yes we're doing all of them, no skips, no shortcuts:

• -v, --version — prints the ConnMan-VPN software version and then dips. exit stage left, iconic behavior ✨
• -h, --help — prints all of ConnMan-VPN's available options and bounces. very "here's the menu, enjoy" of her 💖
• -c file, --config=file — tell her which configuration file to use to set up all the various settings for ConnMan. if you don't specify one, she defaults to /etc/connman/connman-vpn.conf, no cap. check out connman-vpn.conf(5) for the full tea on the config file 🍓. and honestly? the config file is optional — if it's missing, sane default values get used and she's totally fine about it. queen of not making it a whole thing 👑
• -d [file[,...]], --debug[=file[,...]] — controls how much info ConnMan-VPN sends to the log destination (usually syslog's "daemon" facility). If the file options are omitted, then debugging information from all the source files gets printed 🌈. If file options are present, then only debug prints from that specific source file get printed. example, copy it exactly bestie:

connman-vpnd --debug=vpn/vpn-provider.c,vpn/vpn-config.c

• -n, --nodaemon — do not daemonize. this is the one you want for debugging, and it directs log output to the controlling terminal in addition to syslog. so you can just watch it happen in real time, main character energy, front row seats 🎀

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

go read these too, they're in the family:

• connmanctl(1)
• connman-vpn.conf(5)
• connman-vpn-provider.config(5)
• connmand(8)

lowkey the whole vibe here is: slim daemon, big VPN energy, and --debug is your bestie when things get weird 😭

that's the whole page, you understood it perfectly, i'm so proud of you 🫶✨
