OpenVPN Connection Using Python (Windows)
Although file is kept on local machine, credentials file can be copied if pc is hacked/stolen Paste «client.ovpn» file in «C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config» From openvpn-gui.exe desktop icon, import file and direct it to «client.ovpn» Create 2 notepad files with the following commands and save as batch file (xxx.bat) ovpn_connect.bat ovpn_disconnect.bat Follow website instruction to allow .bat file to be run with admin rights. In that case, the following commands would start and stop your VPN: You can find more info on running system commands from the interpreter here, and on using NetworkManager commands here.
OpenVPN Connection Using Python (Windows)
Currently, you have to manually connect to a remote database to extract info via an openvpn connection openvpn-gui.exe to extract the info and disconnect after each extraction job.
Connection is authenticated by a config.ovpn file stored locally.
Is there a way to automate the (connect > extract data > disconnect) process?
Managed to solve this issue.
- Log in to your openvpn server domain via browser (e.g. https://12.345.678.999/)
- Download Connection Profile «Yourself (autologin profile)». File usually named «client.ovpn»
- IMPT! File holds user id and password credentials. Although file is kept on local machine, credentials file can be copied if pc is hacked/stolen
- Paste «client.ovpn» file in «C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config»
- From openvpn-gui .exe desktop icon, import file and direct it to «client.ovpn»
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command connect client.ovpn
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command disconnect client.ovpn
- Follow website instruction to allow .bat file to be run with admin rights.

- Insert code into python script and run as per usual
import subprocess, time # Connect to OpenVPN subprocess.call([r'filepath\ovpn_connect.bat']) time.sleep(15) # adjust your connection time print("Connect OpenVPN") # Disconnect from OpenVPN subprocess.call([r'filepath\ovpn_disconnect.bat']) print("Disconnect OpenVPN")

Connecting to OpenVPN config using python
Is there any libraries for python that can be use for connecting to OpenVPN service using .ovpn configuration file ?
The openvpn-api library needs OpenVPN installed on your system.
Good news — you don’t need any external libs to Connect OpenVPN . You may just run cmd command from python script like this:
# write the command to a variable cmd = 'start /b cmd /c "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect config.ovpn' # split the command to parameters (It's not a necessity, it's just a rule of good taste) args = shlex.split(cmd) # run and remember the process as 'x' x = subprocess.Popen(args, shell=True)
Raising a python vpn server, usage: vpn.py [-h] listen_port server_host server_port vpn.py: error: the following arguments are required: listen_port, server_host, server_port Process finished with exit code 2 (ignore the cruft produced by the unnecessary import of this) indicates that you didn’t run your script with the required arguments. That is, …
Launch vpn with python script
I need to be able to turn on my vpn in a python script and then terminate it. Very easy to do it manually (see picture in the link below) but I have no idea how to code it. I heard about subprocess.Popen but not sure if I am on the right track.
manual way of turning on my vpn
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and my VPN is TrustZone.
I’ve been working on something similar and it work fine with python on Debian and Ubuntu, It depend on openvpn So make sure to install openvpn in your machine using :
Sudo apt-get update Sudo apt-get install openvpn
Then you can use this small peace of python code (vpn.py) to run the vpn make sure you use the sudo and before run it use the chmod 777 on the file. In your case you’re using trustzone make sure to generate the config file with the extension .ovpn
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import requests, os, sys, subprocess, time path = '/home/user/Download/trustedzone.ovpn' with open("/home/user/Download/trustedzone.ovpn", "a") as myfile: myfile.write('\nscript-security 2\nup /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf\ndown /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf') myfile.close() x = subprocess.Popen(['sudo', 'openvpn', '--auth-nocache', '--config', path]) try: while True: time.sleep(600) # termination with Ctrl+C except: try: x.****() except: pass while x.poll() != 0: time.sleep(1)
Place The script where you want to run it then use the command
To start The vpn client Run
Wish it will work for you, have a good journey.
Taking a wild stab from that screenshot, your VPN appears to be configured using NetworkManager. In that case, the following commands would start and stop your VPN:
import os os.system('nmcli c up ') # Start the VPN os.system('nmcli c down ') # Stop the VPN
You can find more info on running system commands from the interpreter here, and on using NetworkManager commands here.
Linux — OpenVPN Python plugin, I think good solution would be write OpenVPN plugin in cm this plugin will use deferred method for auth and call python code separated thread or process. This python code can do things like — use db wrappers, use requests library, etc. And this python code will not stop OpenVPN handling of other clients.
How can one use the command-line to use openvpn on windows?
I have been trying to come up with a way to interact with openvpn on windows. I did fine the openvpn.exe but there are no commands that will use a config file to connect with a vpn server. I am using nordvpn by the way. Specifically a tcp Canadian server. I did find some people suggesting to use the openvpn- gui.exe to run the program but it defeats the purpose. I want t to completely be on command line. Secondly, i need the command line to work as i want to integrate openvopn into a script which will download stuff from the internet. Anyone with any idea how to do it?
For anyone looking into this in 2021, please find below a connect and a disconnect.
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command connect yourconfigfile.ovpn
To disconnect
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command disconnect yourconfigfile.ovpn
For windows users. Both of these can be placed in a .bat file and automated with task scheduler, works like a charm.
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --connect config.ovpn
Replace ‘config.ovpn’ by your configuration file. You also may have another path to openvpn-gui.exe .
It will work if you have no openVPN correctly installed so you can’t run openvpn-gui . from cmd.
So I figured out the answer to the problem. To control openvpn from command-line on windows:
- Set the Environment Variable so you can access the openvpn-gui.exe from command-line.
- Type this command: openvpn-gui —connect [config file] . (You are going to need the config file so download it from your vpn provider)
If you don’t want to type the password every time you run the script, edit the config file to read the username and password from a . txt file . Here’s a link that can help you do that: https://help.vpntunnel.com/support/solutions/articles/5000613671-how-do-i-save-my-username-password-in-openvpn-for-automatic-login-
You can actually use the config file with openvpn.exe , but you must provide the full path to it unlike with openvpn-gui.exe :
openvpn.exe --config "path/to/config.ovpn"
Openvpn-monitor, openvpn-monitor is a simple python program to generate html that displays the status of an OpenVPN server, including all current connections. It uses the OpenVPN management console. It typically runs on the same host as the OpenVPN server, however it does not necessarily need to. Source The current …

python vpn server & client.
server: eth0: 192.168.0.192/24, listen on eth0 23456, communication with tcp tun0: 192.168.10.1/24
client: eth0: 192.168.2.108/24 tun0: 192.168.10.2/24 ioctl a tun device; set 192.168.0.1/24 to this tun; connect to heruilong1988.oicp.net 23456, establish connection, large conn with heartbeat
TUNSETIFF = 0x400454ca TUNSETOWNER = TUNSETIFF + 2 IFF_TUN = 0x0001 IFF_NO_PI = 0x1000
Tall it we want a TUN device named tun0.
ifr = struct.pack(’16sH’, ‘tun%d’, IFF_TUN | IFF_NO_PI) fcntl.ioctl(tun, TUNSETIFF, ifr)
Optionally, we want it be accessed by the normal user.
fcntl.ioctl(tun, TUNSETOWNER, 1000) print ifr return tun.fileno()
Usage: vpn -s 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
