ip via parameter & openvpn scriptable? #11

Viewing https://github.com/adrelanos/vpn-firewall, How to Use ...

From this description, it seems like the VPN server ip must be hard coded. Seems like manual re-editing if one wants to use a different server from the vpn provider?

I see for occasional / manual openvpn startup vpnfirewall can be called before starting openvpn. openvpn has the ability to call scripts, specified within a .ovpn/.conf file even.

Between the parameter and script call (where the ip parameter may well be present in an openvpn variable), seems like a standard 'openvpn myvpnserver' or network manager call would automate things.

Am I positing incorrectly?

There should/could be a config file. There is not.

Patches welcome to the development branch.

Thanks. 10-4. Understandable. I'm guessing I will have a deeper look in the next short while.

However, I have no knowledge of git/hub, this development ecosystem, or any surrounding processes. If you have any favourite links / 'how tos' directly topical to being a contributor here, that would be useful. You can assume Linux / environment / scripting familiarity (easy enough to google any gaps discerned), but not with contributing, git, or things specific to this project.

This is done in development branch.
