Hi,

I restart this old thread for just one small question.

If I did the mc-account trick, it work all good. But, how do I restore it to the default after I close the openvpn link?

Do I redo the line with my wlan0 ip?

Thank you.

Thank's for the tip. FYI, I've setup my openvpn network scripts to do this automatically for me. In my case, I only have one VPN connection, and only one SIP server I ever wish to talk to; as such, this may not be applicable to more complex setups.

/etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn:


#!/bin/sh

OPENVPN=/etc/init.d/openvpn

if [ ! -x $OPENVPN ]; then
exit 0
fi

if [ -n "$ICD_CONNECTION_ID" ]; then
$OPENVPN restart $IF_OPENVPN
sleep 5
VPN_INT="tun0"
VPN_IP=`ifconfig $VPN_INT 2> /dev/null | sed -n 's/.*inet[adr: ]*\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p'`
mc-account set sip0 string:local-ip-address=$VPN_IP
fi


I'm using the /etc/network/if-down.d/openvpn script from http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18434

NOTE: I'm using "restart" instead of "start" to avoid problems caused by two openvpn instances running (one started at boot, one started when the wlan interface comes up)

I see asterisk is installable in Debian, I wonder what it would be like to run an asterisk server on the tablet...

JimHoy:

Nice! I am thinking into something like your script but to have it run ONLY when openvpn runs... Otherwise I need the local-ip to be kept to the wlan0, since it won't work for me inside mi corporate LAN.

Will see what i get..

up parameter in openvpn config most likely what you are looking for

I just used a part of the script and was able to get it working calling them with the up and down openvpn params! Now it connects to the OPenVPn server with the aid of the Openvpn Applet and assigns the tun0 ip to the sip0 account (useful since I also have yahoo, msn, etc) and when the vpn closes reverts the ip to the wlan0!
