    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    Sorry for not responding for many days. I got flu and also hurt my back. basically I can't do anything for the last week. :( Edit: My first question seems to solved. Now the script will accept the user name I gave and check those users if they connect to the VPN for over 5 mins. I probably did...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    OK I think I manage to make the cron job work. I add the cru line to the /jffs/scripts/services-start file. After reboot, "cru l" shows #LimitOVPNSession# is running on the top of the list. I don't know if this is the proper way to do it, but somehow it works. Can I "rm" the init-start file...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    Yes I did. Right now I modify it like this if [ "$USERNAME" == "vpnuser1" ] || [ "$USERNAME" == "vpnuser2" ] || [ "$USERNAME" == "vpnuser3" ] || [ "$USERNAME" == "vpnuser4" ];then like you suggested in post #13 But I think what you changed in post#21 is better. If I understand it right...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    some update I think I got the script work right. I use cru a LimitOVPNSession "*/1 * * * * /jffs/scripts/LimitOVPNSession.sh vpnuserA vpnuserB enforce server" Now it will check the vpnuserA and vpnuserB user accounts, if any of them stay over 5 mins it will auto restart the VPN server. And...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    Just a quick reply. I am not at home right now. Yes, I have enabled the custom scripts in Merlin. I will test the script when I get home. But I am still confused about what you mean. Can you give me a example how to setup the cru command with the script. I have created 2 test accounts in my...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    ok, some update 1. Do you mean I just use the script like cru a LimitOVPNSession "*/1 * * * * /jffs/scripts/LimitOVPNSession.sh" Even I success manully add it to the job list, It doesn't seem to auto restart the VPN server if a user stay longer than 300 sec. How do I use it properly to manage...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    1. That error is just a copy and paste mistake. My bad, sorry. 2. I edited the LimitOVPNSession.sh file according to your suggestion. I just add 2 users "vpnuserA" and "vpnuserB" for the test. I run the script in ssh it correctly shows which user is connected to the VPN and for how long. it...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    Sort like that. But I don't need the VPN server turn it off itself. Just log out the user after couple mins. for example, a 5 mins hard limit. If they still need the ip. they could just login again. I hope I could leave the VPN server on, so they don't need to call me or message me every time...

    Is it Possible to limit OpenVPN connect time?

    the reason I need to setup a VPN server in my router is that I want to let my family member or friends to use the ip for verification purpose. It usually just need for a very short period of time and it's hard to control when they will need it. So I wish I could just auto disconnect them after...
