Title: How to disconnect from OpenVPN on ubuntu?
Post by: clueless on May 23, 2013, 01:43:44 AM

I am using VPNBook OpenVPN servers

I connected to their servers using this command

Code: [Select]

sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/vpnbook-udp-53.ovpn --auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password.txt
Now how can I stop the vpn connection without rebooting the my computer?
