OpenVPN script needed

[Cake]

Does anybody have a script they use for the OpenVPN client in their jffs dir for checking if the vpn is still working, and reconnecting if necessary.

I am thinking maybe like getting ip,

curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

and check if it is between a certain range if it is exit, if not cycle the openvpn connection. I have found my VPN provider (PIA) sometimes gets disconnected, and I only find out when using google as the country local changes.

running 376.48_1

Have you tried setting the timers in the client configuration itself (in the Custom Configuration section)?

I added the following two lines

inactive 0
keepalive 5 60

Thanks John, that did the trick, vpn was connected all day yesterday.

Glad to be of assistance. I've been using PIA VPN for over a year now. Sometime the servers can get a little bogged down during peak hours, but overall I've been happy with them.
