fastd: Start fastd with a specific configuration file.
$ fastd --config ${path-to-fastd-conf}
try on your machine

The command "fastd --config ${path-to-fastd-conf}" is used to run the fastd program with a specified configuration file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "fastd": Refers to the fastd program, which is a VPN tunneling software.

  • "--config": Indicates that what follows is the path to the configuration file for fastd.

  • "${path-to-fastd-conf}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the fastd configuration file on the system. It is represented in the form of a variable (${path-to-fastd-conf}) to demonstrate that it needs to be substituted with the correct path when executing the command.

To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-fastd-conf}" with the actual location of the fastd configuration file on your system. Once done, executing this command will run the fastd program with the specified configuration file, allowing it to establish a VPN tunnel according to the settings defined in the configuration file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
