  • session-manage: It is a subcommand used to manage sessions.
  • --config ${path-to-config-conf}: This option specifies the path to the OpenVPN configuration file (*.conf) that contains the session settings. ${path-to-config-conf} should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file.
