vzvpn Configuration File

The /etc/vzvpn/vzvpn.conf file is used by the Parallels Support Tool to establish a secure connection (a virtual private network) between your server and the Parallels support server.

The parameters in this file are presented on separate lines in the following format:

< parameter_name >=< parameter_value >

The table below describes these parameters:

Parameter

Description

REMOTE_HOST

Mandatory. The hostname or the IP address of the Parallels support server.

REMOTE_PORT

Mandatory. The port number of the Parallels support server to be used for establishing a virtual private network (VPN).

STARTTMO

Mandatory. The time, in seconds, during which there will be attempts to start the Parallels Support Tool if it could not be started immediately after its launching.

INACTIVE

Mandatory. The time of inactivity, in seconds, after which the connection between your server and the Parallels support server will be closed.

PING

Mandatory. The time, in seconds, at the end of which the port of the Parallels support server will be pinged in case no packets have been received from the support server during the time specified.

PING_EXIT

Mandatory. The time, in seconds, after a lapse of which the connection between your server and the Parallels support server will be closed in case no ping signals or other packets have been received from the support server during this time.

HTTP_PROXY=hostname[: port ]

Optional. The hostname or the IP address and the port number of the HTTP proxy server through which a VPN between your server and the Parallels support server is to be established. This parameter overrides the HTTP_PROXY parameter set in the /etc/vz/vz.conf file on the server. If the HTTP_PROXY parameter is not specified in either of the files, the Parallels Support Tool looks for the http_proxy environment variable on the server and takes its value for establishing a VPN.

HTTP_PROXY_USER

Optional. The user name used by the HTTP proxy server for your authentication.

HTTP_PROXY_PASSWORD

Optional. The password of the user specified in the HTTP_PROXY_USER parameter and used for your authentication by the HTTP proxy server.

Note: You are not recommended to change any of the aforementioned parameters. Modify them only if you are dead certain of your actions (for example, you have received the corresponding information from Parallels).
