I imagine something like Cisco AnyConnect on Windows, where you can connect before login to the machine. So afterwards user specific network shares are available and can be connect via scripts.

I have an openvpn server running.

Hi all,

is there a possibility to connect to a VPN manually before login on

CentOS desktop (Gnome). I know of a similar functionality in Windows.

This is reasonably vpn specific as to the type, and configuration allowed. Can you be more specific?

So most easiest way in my eyes would be a network-manager applet at gdm login.

But as of CentOS 7 there is no nm-applet.desktop anymore.

There is also an unsolved bug report at fedora.

Anyone an idea to get nm-applet to gdm login screen?

,vpnc, command is used to connect VPN server. We can configure VPN server IP, username, password there. On 1 May 2015 21:28, "Tim" lists@kiuni.de wrote:

Probably the easiest thing to do with OpenVPN would be to use RSA authentication and configure openvpn to run on boot at the client.

I do this on several machines via scripts and rc.local for openvpn .. you can do it many different ways.
