Running script when connected to VPN

[page_fault]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was a way to run a script after a VPN connection is successful. I would like to run a custom iptables script when I connect so only certain IP's on my network are routed through the VPN.

Thanks.

You're looking for Selective Routing, which you can read about here http://www.snbforums.com/threads/selective-routing-with-asuswrt-merlin.9311/

If you get it working, let me know how you did it. There are quite a few scripts in that link, some of them are vpn_route_up or are referenced in the VPN Custom Config itself.

Ok I got it working I put my script in openvpn-event in /jffs/scripts and it works and executes when the interface goes up for tun11. Thanks. It should work for you if you put the script included in that thread in that location and tweak it a bit for your own use.

You got it working on your first shot? Nice work! Which script did you use? There are a few openvpn-event ones there.

For me it seems the openvpn-event is never called Any ideas?

Hi!
I have set up a manual file with individual IPs. If I call it openvpn-event (#! /bin /sh
sh /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting/load_MANUAL_ipset_iface.sh 0 AMAZON-MY), it does not work (liststats: - 0ON-MY
). What am I doing wrong? Many thanks for your help!

I thought openvpn-event gets called for a server when the VPN server starts or stops, not when a connection is made. To run a script when a connection is made to the server, put a call to the script in the custom configuration box: client-connect <script>..

In this respect I think it is different than the client, where openvpn-event gets called when the VPN client starts.

Edit: Nevermind. I had read the <very old> messages in this thread and thought we were talking about a server.

Thanks! The Script is workin when my VPN connects. But it writes a wrong ipset:
It should write AmazonMy on 0, but it writes 0ONMY
