Hello, list, This is probably obvious to the rest of you, but I am not able to give openvpn multi parameter options on the command line:
sudo openvpn --remote "127.0.0.1 10153" --route "162.245.206.244 255.255.255.255 net_gateway" --config=/etc/stunnel/vpn/openvpn.conf fails from the command line on ubuntu 20, but the same options work fine when they are included in the --config file: << remote 127.0.0.1 10153 route 162.245.206.244 255.255.255.255 net_gateway >> This is openvpn though a stunnel. Stunnel opens a vpn tunnel from localhost:port to the vpn server at a specific ip:port combination. Openvpn then uses the localhost:port as its remote parameter. It works great when everything is in the config file. But, when we change the stunnel addresses, and then try to use them from the command line, we get: << RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: 127.0.0.1/10153:1194 (Name or service not known) >> The config file has all the other parameters, keys, certs, etc., and they work when remote and port is given in the config file. So what obvious thing am I missing? I've tried '', "", remote=127.0.0.1\_10153, and more. Many thanks! Gordon
