Just wanted to say great job leaving the resolv.conf file up to the user to configure. Ubuntu kept overwriting it and gave me a headache and DNS leaks to OpenVPN from my router. (which is transparent for all I know)
However I configed my resolv file and now I have no DNS leak really easy and simple. Rock Solid little 3 liner, reason I spent more time configuring Mint getting nothing done. Than all my time actually learning a bit of linux in debian.
However heres the lowdown, when I run openvpn If I close the terminal the VPN stops. Is there a way to run openvpn without root access, or to keep the vpn running after closing terminal? Can I whitelist openvpn without worring about it going down? That seems safer than leaving a root terminal open right? I am not terribly worried about physical access at home when I'm using the vpn. However leaving a root terminal open does not seem like a good defense. Any one have suggestions?
I am using PIA, if anyone knows of a way to run it without Terminal in stretch I'd be open to that as well.

Root Terminal
Re: Root Terminal
Why don't you run it as a service? With systemd:
I don't know what PIA is.
EDIT: I read it again and I'm not sure whether you mean OpenVPN client or server. If it's a client you mean, then you could run it as service/daemon as well, with something like this.
Code: Select all
systemctl enable openvpn@server.service
systemctl start openvpn@server.service

Re: Root Terminal
I don't have any experience with PIA, but it is a commercial service that you pay for and they have a client support section. If I was paying for a service, as a client, I think I would ask them.czeekaj wrote:
