Hi! I have a few (heh) headless boxes that use NetworkManager for connectivity, and we'd like to keep it that way (without random hacks and shellscripts, preferrably) One of the things that we want is to set up a VPN connection, each box should automatically reconnect to the VPN if doable, and try to stay connected. However, The documentation for this is. pretty lacking. So, what I want to do is add a config file with the connection specification for a VPN setup to the base OS of all machines, and have them "just work" as much as possible. Now: where can I find the documentation for the KeyFile config format? I think I've seen something in the past, but I can't seem to re-find it. (hidden on the wiki?) And: Is the below config file "correct" ? What is missing, and what should I think about for maximum compability? ---8<--- [connection] id=vpn uuid=c0ffee00-dead-dead-dead-c0ffeedecaff type=vpn autoconnect=true [vpn] service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn connection-type=tls remote=vpn.vpn.host.vpn cert-pass-flags=0 # what does this do? mssfix=yes # compat? remote-cert-tls=server # WTF is this?
