I am trying to set up openvpn as an unprivileged user. I am using this guide:
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-s...ion/howto.html
When I execute:joe@crunchbang:~$ sudo service openvpn start
Starting virtual private network daemon
daemon is running but no vpn tunnel
I have these files in /etc/openvpn:
*firewall.sh
*openvpn-shutdown.sh
*openvpn-startup.sh
*update-resolv-conf
/vpn_book
Steps I followed:
Write the following script and place it at: /usr/local/sbin/unpriv-ip:
#!/bin/sh
sudo /sbin/ip $*
I added this to /etc/sudoers.d/openvpn-unpriv
joe ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ip
To openvpn-startup I added:
openvpn --enable-iproute2
openvpn --rmtun --dev tun0
openvpn --mktun --dev tun0 --type tun --user joe
openvpn --script-security 2 --up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
Added to the config file: vpnbook-ca1-udp53.ovpn
iproute /usr/local/sbin/unpriv-ip
I can open a vpn tunnel with
sudo openvpn --config vpn_book/vpnbook-ca1-udp53.ovpn if I remove
iproute /usr/local/sbin/unpriv-ip from the config file.
I new to vpns so I probably missed something. Maybe I put a config in the wrong place or forgot something, or iproute isn't working on Debian Wheezy.
Thanks
