This is a script (for a scheduled task in my case) to disconnect and reconnect OpenVPN.

This is mostly pulled together from various other people's stuff online, but none of their scripts worked for me out of the box. Hence this.

If you want the logging to work you'll need to create /volume1/Media/Logs

I'm using:

• DS220+

• DSM 7.3.2-86009 Update 3

• Built-in OpenVPN support

• IPVanish as my VPN provider

  Force a reconnect for the specific VPN profile
