I am connected to an OpenVPN server. For connecting I need 2 files (username/passowrd & other) that I create and delete programmatically. On successful connection I delete those files as strictly don’t want to keep such files on PC.

The problem is : almost every hr the server needs those files again and if it can’t find it gets disconnected. So the user got to connect again. This is a sort of problem for the user.

I was thinking, if I can create those 2 files every 55 mins & delete after 10 mins. With this, after 59mins the server will find the file and stay alive and again after 10mins I delete those files.

Can anyone tell/guide me how do I create/delete files on certain timings. How to implemetn the timer feature. AND importantly, is this feature proper – I mean can this work out.

Thanks

    Don’t use preshared key file authentication.
    Use X509 (SSL certificate) authentication, and protect your private key with a password.
    Don’t delete or create any file, it doesn’t make sense.
