Wrapper around openconnect that lets you do

$ vpn up [vpn-password]
$ vpn down
$ vpn reset # if your lan connection glitches

Looks for a file named .vpn starting in your current directory and moving up the tree. .vpn should be a yaml file that must contain "server"; other things are arguments to openconnect. e.g.

         server:     vpn.mycompany.com
         usergroup:  OTP
         user:       ronen

Suggestions for improvement welcome!

Glad you like it. FYI the new revision dispenses with the directory-search thing, and instead just looks in ~/.vpn -- but now that file can have multiple entries for multiple sites. So the yaml looks like this:

mycompany:
     server:        vpn.mycompany.com
     usergroup:  OTP
     user:           ronen

other:
    server:         remote.othercorp.com
    ...etc...

(Not backwards compatible: even if you have only one you need to give it a name and indent the settings.)

By default it will connect to the first one in the file; otherwise use vpn up <site>.

It also now hides the vpn password when you type it

Ok, seemed like it may as well be a proper repo rather than updating a gist. Moved it over to https://github.com/ronen/vpn
