The export utility is very nice, but there are a few features I would like
and might actually sponsor going forward with a bounty. We use a few custom
config options such as backup server(s) and want to change the main
'remote' IP to DNS, it would be nice if it could handle some changes
without a hand-edit. It doubles my deploy time having to crack open the zip
and edit the config files... from a couple minute deploy to maybe 4-5
minutes. I have a basic how-to for all different OS' and let the user
deploy it. We use two-factor auth with LDAP on top and couldn't be happier
with the robustness and security of our VPN. I've got about 75 users
deployed and ever growing.

Definitely a bit of a learning curve but it's extremely easy once you've
got a grasp of all the steps (document it!)
