Log in from console (see below under "First Use" on how to do this)
sudo vpnc
To disconnect:
sudo killall vpnc
Scripted way
more vpn1.sh
sudo vpnc
TUNIP=`ip \a|grep -i inet|grep tun|awk '{print $2}'|awk -F "/" '{print $1}'`
echo "Griffith IP is: $TUNIP" | mail -S smtp=smtp.griffith.edu.au -s "VPN IP $TUNIP" youremail@griffith.edu.au
This will email the newly assigned IPaddress
Reconnect using the new ipaddress! viola!
