Custom script for openVPN server - client connect event

[Serra]

Hello, I would like to know if there is any way to have custom scripts run whenever an open VPN client connects to the open VPN server in router?

I have read the 'User scripts' page on wiki, also have done some basic searches on web but still cannot find a proper way to do so.

Is it possible to do?

Thank a lot.

Thank you very much!

The key point is to use the 'client-connect <my script>' to register my script in the configuration.

May I ask one more question related to the Step 1 in the post:

Step 1. Simply enter two lines (into the VPN Server Custom Configuration) as shown below...clearly the comment line is optional! - and should be omitted if available NVRAM is low.

Does it mean to include the client-connect command in file openvpnserver1.postconf?
I don't use the custom CCD file for the openVPN server.

The GUI panel makes it easier to 'add' directives to the OpenVPN Server config, but clearly, if the firmware already includes the custom directive, then yes you would need to use the postconf script if you needed to override or delete it.

Got it. Thanks so much for the prompt and helpful replies.

I don't think you need the leading "--" in the custom config box; you need it in a .ovpn file though.
