<![CDATA[Restart OpenVPN / re read host address - command line]]>Hi

Does openVPN read the remote server hosts address from config.xml or is there another file it reads from ?

Is it possible to restart the openVPN either via PHP or the command line ?
If I script the update of the server hosts address in config.xml, when I restart openVPN will it use the new host address ?

Any issues with doing this ?

Thanks

My script is correctly editing config.xml and client1.conf

OpenVPN is restarted and it appears to connect to the new server, but the GUI still shows the old host address and after a minute or so the VPN appears to be connected back to the old host.

Can this be done?
Thanks
