netctl & VPN interface.

Hello.

I just took my certificate from my university to use it within the VPN but i cannot find a way to create an interface for netctl to use it with VPN.
I want to make a netctl interace so to enable/disable when i need it.
I search in internet for "netctl and VPN connection" but nothing found.

Can someone give me a hint on how to achieve a VPN connection ?

Thanks a lot.

Re: netctl & VPN interface.

It does not look like netctl is supporting, or is going to support OpenVPN. See [1]
Why don't you want to use systemctl to start the Openvpn connection when needed?
I'm using it that way and it works without any problems.
