@Mcat12 Thanks for the pointer. Disabling lighttpd's accesslog by commenting out the /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf wont survive Pi-Hole updates.
The safe way is to create /etc/lighttpd/external.conf and add the following
include_shell "sed -i -r 's/^(\s*accesslog\.filename)/#\1/' /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" include_shell "sed -i -r 's/^(\s*\"mod_accesslog\",)/#\1/' /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf"
How about just having this in the extra config?
accesslog.filename = ""
accesslog.filename = "" in external.conf prevents lighttpd from starting

However it works if accesslog.filename is commented or didn't exist in lighttpd.conf, to begin with.
This dumps the ovpn file to the /root folder and I've disabled root. How can I change where that file is sent?
As noted on your issue on github, I think you're getting us confused with piVPN. We don't do anything with VPN configs. Cheers!
