docker run --volumes-from $OVPN_DATA --rm kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_getclient CLIENTNAME > CLIENTNAME.ovpn

## Debugging Tips

* Create an environment variable with the name DEBUG and value of 1 to enable debug output (using "docker -e").

docker run --volumes-from $OVPN_DATA -d -p 1194:1194/udp --privileged -e DEBUG=1 kylemanna/openvpn
docker run --volumes-from $OVPN_DATA -p 1194:1194/udp --privileged -e DEBUG=1 kylemanna/openvpn

* Test using a client that has openvpn installed correctly

$ openvpn --config CLIENTNAME.ovpn

* Run through a barrage of debugging checks on the client if things don't just work

$ ping 8.8.8.8 # checks connectivity without touching name resolution
$ dig google.com # won't use the search directives in resolv.conf
$ nslookup google.com # will use search

## How Does It Work?
