During a meterpreter session, is it possible to deliver a payload that creates a connection request to a local OpenVPN connection? For example:
I have a payload. Whenever that payload runs on the remote system and calls back to me, it's over an OpenVPN connection using the payload that I've generated. The payload has a .ovpn file which runs on payload delivery, and I then have a reverse shell with the OpenVPN connection.
TL;DR - Meterpreter will deliver it, but you have to write it first.
You can deliver a payload that includes a .ovpn file and script to run it. However, you will have to write it yourself. Meterpreter has plenty of great payloads that require little or no changes to (like linux_86/generic_reverse_tcp_shell and several variations, where you only change LHOST and LPORT). However, there is not one to deliver an .ovpn. You can create that payload yourself using a combination of a stager and a payload, or multi-step payload.
