pivpn: List currently connected devices and their statistics.

try on your machine

The command "sudo pivpn clients" is used to list all the clients (devices) that are currently connected to a PiVPN server.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo": This stands for "SuperUser Do" and is used to execute the following command with administrative privileges. It prompts the user to enter their password to verify their identity.

  • "pivpn": This is shorthand for PiVPN, which is a free and open-source VPN server software designed specifically for Raspberry Pi devices. It allows you to set up a secure virtual private network (VPN) server.

  • "clients": This is a subcommand of PiVPN that is used to manage the clients connected to the VPN server. In this case, the "clients" subcommand is used to list all the currently connected clients.

By running the "sudo pivpn clients" command, you can see a list of all the devices that are currently connected to your PiVPN server. This information can be useful for monitoring and managing your VPN connections.
