title: Openvpn connection programmatically in java
body: <p>I want to develop an automation application that works with VPN. For this I have Openvpn config files. However, I don't know how to connect. A solution is mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46620546/start-openvpn-from-java-application">this</a> link but it didn't work for me. Where and how do I type my vpn user and password? I could not get any results in my research on this.</p>
  <p>The application I want to do will work briefly as follows. For example, I will have 50 vpn and my program will connect to the target site by connecting with each vpn respectively. However, as I said, I do not know how to set up an openvpn connection with java. Can you help me with this? Below are the codes I wrote for what I want to do. For example, I wanted to connect to google through italy vpn location.</p>
  <pre><code>import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
  import java.io.IOException;
  
  public class Main {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
  
          Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try {
              Process process = runtime.exec(&quot;C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\bin\\openvpn C:\\Users\\DATABASE\\OpenVPN\\config\\italy\\italy.ovpn&quot;);
          } catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
  
  
          System.setProperty(&quot;webdriver.gecko.driver&quot;, &quot;C:\\geckodriver\\geckodriver.exe&quot;);
          WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  
          try {
              driver.get(&quot;https://www.google.com/&quot;);
          } finally {
              driver.quit();
          }
      }
  }
