How to disconnect from OpenVPN on ubuntu?
« 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?
