Niflheim VPN console client

The Niflheim VPN console utility has been developed to be easy to manage.

User management

1. User List

To get a list of existing users, the user needs to input the command:

niflheim-cli users -l

2. Adding a new user

To add a new user, enter the following command:

niflheim-cli users -a user-name

You can see the execution of this command in the following example:

niflheim-cli users -a newuser
Adding new user - newuser to niflheim vpn in progress. Please wait
deployment in progress.....: 632B [01:22, 7.61B/s] 
User newuser has been added to niflheim vpn

Then you can see below the list of created configuration files for new users after the command completes.

find . -name "*newuser*"
./wireguard/apple/macos/newuser.mobileconfig
./wireguard/apple/ios/newuser.mobileconfig
./wireguard/newuser.conf
./wireguard/.pki/public/newuser
./wireguard/.pki/preshared/newuser
./wireguard/.pki/private/newuser
./wireguard/newuser.png

./ipsec/.pki/private/newuser_ca.p12
./ipsec/.pki/private/newuser.p12
./ipsec/.pki/private/newuser.key

3. Deleting a user

To delete a user, the user needs to enter the following command:

niflheim-cli users -d user-name

This command deletes the user as well as all configuration files that are related to that user.

Updating the VPN server configuration

The server configuration is generated when the server starts for the first time. The configuration file is located at the following path: /opt/niflheim/config.cfg

You can edit the configuration file, but the settings will not be applied instantly. The following command should be used to apply a change to the configuration:

 niflheim-cli  server -u
