pivpn: Add a new client device.

pivpn

$ sudo pivpn add

try on your machine

The command "sudo pivpn add" is used to add a client to the PiVPN server.

PiVPN is a simple OpenVPN installation tool designed for Raspberry Pi and other similar Single Board Computers (SBCs). It allows you to quickly configure and manage a VPN server on your Pi device.

When you run the "sudo pivpn add" command, it will prompt you to enter a name for the client. This is usually a unique name to identify the client device that will be connecting to the VPN server. After entering the client name, the command will generate the necessary configuration files for the client to connect to the VPN server. These files will typically be stored in the /home/pivpn/ovpns/ directory.

Once the client has been added, you can download the client configuration files and install them on the corresponding client device. This will enable the device to establish a secure connection to the VPN server.
