NAME

openvpn3-service-backendstart - OpenVPN 3 Linux VPN client backend starter

SYNOPSIS

openvpn3-service-backendstart [OPTIONS]
openvpn3-service-backendstart -h
| --help

DESCRIPTION

This service is automatically started when the openvpn3-service-sessionmgr requests a new VPN tunnel to be initiated. This service has the responsibility to start the openvpn3-service-client process and provide enough information to it so it can register itself against a session object in the openvpn3-service-sessionmgr service.

This service is normally started automatically when needed, via the net.openvpn.v3.backendstart.service auto-start configuration by the dbus-daemon (1), but can also be started manually on the command line. Beware that running this with another user account than _openvpn also requires updating the D-Bus policy as well.
