I am using IPVanish for using a proxy while surfing; like:
sudo openvpn --config /home/ipv/conf/ipvanish-CA-Toronto-tor-a09.ovpn Now, I have to enter my username, after that my password. How Can I pass those two params right as one command, so that I just use one command and the username/password are being passed automatically?

passwd -n <no of days> <username> This means user2 cannot change its own password until 10 days have passed. To confirm the password setting made with the -n option above, run the following command: # passwd -S user1 user1 PS 2020-12-04 10 99999 7 -1 (Password set, SHA512 crypt.)
Set Username/Password for each client on OpenVPN serverClick Account tab, and then click Add Account to set the username and password for VPN client. Enter the client's name and assign an password for the client. Click Save. Repeat above steps to set username/password for each client.
The previous answer didn't work for me (still asked for username and password), what did work was putting your credentials in a file (pass.txt), like this
[email protected] password and calling openvpn with --auth-user-pass pass.txt.

Note that in some OpenVPN versions (e.g. OpenVPN 2.4.11) there is a bug where you have to first use --config and then --auth-user-pass or your auth file will be ignored without any warning.
So, here a complete example:
sudo openvpn --config /home/ipv/conf/ipvanish-CA-Toronto-tor-a09.ovpn --auth-user-pass pass.txt If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
