Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7~alpha2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Attached is a patch which includes support for an "openvpn" method so that
ifup/ifdown can be used to start and stop openvpn vpns. An example entry in
interfaces would be:
iface myvpnname inet openvpn
vpn configname
which then would cause running "ifup myvpnname" to start the vpn defined in
/etc/openvpn/configname.conf
thanks,
stew
