Hi, is there a command I can use in a cron job to disconnect the OpenVPN client? (preferably only a specific tunnel)

My goal is to prevent a specific device from accessing the net at certain times. The device is configured to only use the openvpn tunnel and prevent connections to wan. I understand Network Service Filter rules cannot be applied to vpn connections

many thanks
 
service stop_vpnclient1. that will stop it. if the router reboots, it will restart though if you have it starting with wan. you could also toggle the that if you wanted with nvram set commands
