11 What you need to do is create a <tunnelname>.conf file for your second
12 tunnel, and then link /etc/init.d/openvpn to /etc/init.d/<tunnelname>.
13 Then you can start the second tunnel with either "/etc/init.d/<tunnelname>
14 start", or by using rc-update to add <tunnelname> to the runlevel of your
15 choice. For example:
16
17 cp /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf /etc/openvpn/homevpn.conf
18 vi /etc/openvpn/homevpn.conf
19 ln -s openvpn /etc/init.d/homevpn
20 rc-update add homevpn default
21 /etc/init.d/homevpn start
