In this updated tutorial, which is a result of a discussion in the Turris Forum , we use the function create_notification
, which sends the message according to the settings in the administration Foris, section Maintenance
Tutorial assumes, you have installed OpenVPN
1) in file /etc/config/openvpn
add following lines:
If you are using Foris openVPN plugin, add it to the section config openvpn 'server_turris
option script_security '2' option client_connect '/etc/openvpn/up.sh' option client_disconnect '/etc/openvpn/down.sh'
2) create file /etc/openvpn/up.sh
#!/bin/bash message="$(echo -e "${common_name} connected to: ${HOSTNAME} \\nRemote: ${untrusted_ip} \\nVirtual: ${ifconfig_pool_remote_ip}")" /usr/bin/create_notification -s news "${message}" /usr/bin/notifier exit 0
3) create file /etc/openvpn/down.sh
#!/bin/bash message="$(echo -e "${common_name} disconnected from: ${HOSTNAME} \\nRemote: ${untrusted_ip} \\nVirtual: ${ifconfig_pool_remote_ip}")" /usr/bin/create_notification -s news "${message}" /usr/bin/notifier exit 0
4) set permission 0755 for scripts
chmod 0755 /etc/openvpn/up.sh
chmod 0755 /etc/openvpn/down.sh
5) make sure files are backed-up
If you want to include these extra scripts in the backups of the router, add /etc/openvpn directory to the /etc/config/backups. Something like:
config generate generate list dirs "/etc/openvpn"
6) restart OpenVPN
/etc/init.d/openvpn restart
