Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Disconnect a user from L2TP/IPSec VPN without restarting

[klikli]

Hello,

Are there any commands or things that I can do so that I can disconnect/delete an user from my L2TP/IPSec(xl2tpd/openswan) VPN? Note I am not asking for restart of service which causes all user to reconnect.

You can perform the following as per the HOWTO:

#ipsec auto -status
[This shows the status of all the VPN connections as defined in ipsec.conf aswell as showing the connected/up VPN tunnels.]

#ipsec auto -down <Connection-Name>
[This will disconnect the specified VPN tunnel]

HTH,
