vpnmgr vpnmgr - Manage and update VPN Client configurations for NordVPN and PIA

[Elmer]

Using version 2 on Merlin .19 alpha2. When I go in to add a device to VPN setup by vpnmgr, I get an error saying I can't have -1 in the reconnect tries, it must be 0-99. Nice script. Thanks.

I'm aware of some changes needed for 384.19, but I don't support alphas. When it becomes a beta I'll take a look. Alpha is early stage and things could change.

Some new options added to the poll at the top of this thread...

Any chance of supporting Mullvad VPN ? They ended their 3 hour trial last year, but I do month to month with them and change account numbers each time, so if it would help, I could just give you my number. It's got a few weeks left on it that you could use to test with.

Really great script. Thank you. This started happening for me today. Am using nordvpn. Tried using the script to update clients and get the following:

Would you like to select a country (y/n)? y
/opt/bin/vpnmgr: line 2155: jq: not found

Please select a country:
column: /tmp/vpnmgr_countrylist: No such file or directory

If I use the webui under Vpn manager (2.1.0), I can set everything up (choose country and city) and I click Apply. From Vpn client tab, I choose service state to On, but the client is not configured. syslog shows the following:

Aug 3 19:12:00 vpnmgr: Updated settings from WebUI found, merging into /jffs/addons/vpnmgr.d/config

Once again, thanks for this script!

You did the hardwork @Jack Yaz. Kudos and credit goes to you! Thank you for making it happen.

@RMerlin also deserves a head nod for making me aware of the project. Thanks for emailing me and alerting me.

I installed jq
reinstalled vpnmgr and everything is working great both from the script and webui.

Thanks for your help!

Is there a way to retain the changes made to the script? When this script was nvpmgr, I was able to make changes and they would be saved. Now they don't. I was originally on the master branch. I changed last night to the "develop" branch and the changes saved and I was able to see them in the WebGUI.

This morning after I updated amtm, I noticed that the script had reverted back to the master branch and the changes had been reverted back to the original settings.

Any thoughts on how to retain the tweaks?

Thank you!
