Import Client Traffic Rules for OpenVPN Clients?

[sone]

Hi all,

Is there a way to import "Rules for routing client traffic through the tunnel" with the "Custom Configuration" or a script so I can apply it to the 4 other open client slots without manually adding each one? This is down at the bottom of the OpenVPN Client section (Asuswrt-Merlin 384.8.2)

thanks.

Using the command line on the router you can get the client list information of the first VPN client using:

nvram get vpn_client1_clientlist > CLIENTLIST

This saves the output to a file called CLIENTLIST. You can verify it has worked using:

cat CLIENTLIST

Store the string as a variable... I had problems with long strings in a single command...

CLIENTS="$(cat CLIENTLIST)"

Verify the CLIENTS variable contains the right information

echo $CLIENTS

To copy this to the second clientlist entry:

nvram set vpn_client2_clientlist="$CLIENTS"
(don't forget the quotes)

remove the CLIENTLIST file (you don't need it):

rm CLIENTLIST

NOTE - When I've done this, I've chosen to capture the output in a file and then use the CLIENTS variable as I had unexpected results with large clientlists.

Oh sweet!! Thank you so so much! This will save me a ton of time every time I switch/add new OpenVPN clients.
