      Hi,
      I have OpenVpn that work when I launch the command:

      openvpn --daemon --script-security 2 --config /etc/openvpn/modal-connector_amsterdam.ovpn
      

      But when I try to have it launch on boot I have the service that launch but I don't have the tun0 showing in ifconfig.Screenshot from 2021-11-19 14-51-17.png

      And i did

      systemctl enable vpn-start.service
      

      Any idea where the problem could be? Thanks.
      (And I ask on the side but is it possible to install zerotier?)

        I see that the VPN service is starting so that is a positive. It relies on the voxl-time-sync service to confirm that the date / time is correct before proceeding. One thing to try is to add a sudo to the front of your openvpn call in the service file. Root access may be required depending on your VPN configuration.

        I am not familiar with zerotier so can't give you an answer on that one.

          It gives me 2021 when I launch the time-sync command, so it should be ok.
          Going to try the sudo command.

          sudo /usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --script-security 2 --config /etc/openvpn/modal-connector_amsterdam.ovpn
          

          So something like that in the vpn-start file, right?

            @Sébastien-de-Pret-Roose-de-Calesberg Yes, exactly. You may have to specify the whole path of sudo i.e. /usr/bin/sudo

              Also, ensure you aren't connecting to your VPN with the same key on a different machine.
