tun1 instead of tun0?

[pingaan]

Hi,

Is it possible to rename the VPN connection to tun1 instead of tun0, when having only one VPN connection active?

Regards

[raja.genupula]

have you tried using `nmcli` ?

No, you think it'd be possible with nmcli? This is actually concerns a Raspberry Pi, don't tell anyone! ;-)
Afaik nmcli is not native to Raspbian. Would it be possible in another way?

Raspbian. Thread moved to Ubuntu/Debian BASED.

If you can edit the OpenVPN configuration file for the connection you can replace


dev tun

which dynamically allocates a tun device, with

dev tun1
to specify a device.

I've never used a GUI to set up OpenVPN connections, but then all my connections are static (https://openvpn.net/community-resources/static-key-mini-howto/).

@SeijiSensei
That did the trick, thanks a lot!
