Management Commands

Server Lifecycle

Create Server

Deploy a new VPN server instance

vpn-cli server create --region us-east-1 --type performance --name prod-vpn

List Servers

View all server instances and their status

vpn-cli server list --format table --sort-by region

Scale Server

Upgrade or downgrade server resources

vpn-cli server scale --server-id srv_123 --type enterprise

Delete Server

Terminate server instance and cleanup resources

vpn-cli server delete --server-id srv_123 --force

Configuration Management

Update Config

Modify server configuration parameters

vpn-cli server config update --server-id srv_123 --max-clients 200

Backup Config

Create configuration and certificate backups

vpn-cli server backup create --server-id srv_123 --name daily-backup

Restore Backup

Restore server from backup

vpn-cli server backup restore --backup-id bak_456 --server-id srv_123

Certificate Rotation

Rotate server certificates and update clients

vpn-cli server certs rotate --server-id srv_123 --notify-clients

Auto-Scaling & Load Balancing

Automatic Scaling Configuration

Configure automatic scaling policies to handle traffic spikes and optimize costs by scaling down during low usage periods.

Scaling Triggers

CPU Usage> 80%

Scale up when CPU exceeds 80% for 5 minutes

Connection Count> 400

Scale up when connections exceed 400

Network I/O> 7GB/s

Scale up when bandwidth usage is high

Load Balancing

AlgorithmRound Robin

Distribute connections evenly

Health ChecksEvery 30s

Monitor server health automatically

Failover< 10s

Automatic failover to healthy servers

# Configure auto-scaling policy
vpn-cli autoscale policy create \
  --name "production-policy" \
  --min-instances 2 \
  --max-instances 10 \
  --cpu-threshold 80 \
  --scale-up-cooldown 300 \
  --scale-down-cooldown 600

# Enable load balancing
vpn-cli loadbalancer create \
  --name "prod-lb" \
  --algorithm round-robin \
  --health-check-interval 30 \
  --failover-timeout 10

# Apply to server group
vpn-cli server group update \
  --group-id grp_123 \
  --autoscale-policy production-policy \
  --load-balancer prod-lb

Management Best Practices

Regular Backups

Schedule automated daily backups of server configurations, certificates, and user data to ensure quick recovery.

Monitoring & Alerts

Set up comprehensive monitoring with alerts for CPU, memory, network, and connection thresholds to prevent issues.

Capacity Planning

Monitor usage trends and plan capacity upgrades before reaching limits to maintain optimal performance.

Next Steps

With your servers properly managed, explore advanced security protocols and troubleshooting techniques.
