Hey, I've been using Arch Linux for quite some time now and I think I am familiar with how things work and should be done.

However I need to setup OpenVPN to remotely control a school computer, so I'm following this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVPN to do everything. But I have a .ovpn file provided by my school that I think matches a .ovpn conf file.

So what I did is simply sudo openvpn ~/path/myfile.ovpn to make openvpn work using that file, and everything seems to work. I got the "Initialization Sequence Completed" message.

Is that it? Does that mean I'm connected to my school VPN now? Or are there any more steps? I can't really find more about that on the internet.

See if you can access what you need to access. If you can, it worked.

There’s probably a better way to check, but that would be the simplest
