Quoting Denis Vlasenko <v...@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua>:
I had a few of my users ask why the Windows OpenVPN connection was in a
Command Prompt window and not just a Systray Icon with a status window.
It can be run as a service. It is documented.
I think implementing a systray icon to controll OpenVPN would be a great
feature.
Running OpenVPN as a service does not make it much easier or more
userfriendly than the normal way, except that you don't have to see the
console window.
As a technician I love the way OpenVPN is designed and operate today, but
my users also ask for a gui to controll OpenVPN as the console window just
scares them!
I think it would be cleanest if such a gui could be created as a
standalone application that just calls the openvpn binary. What I'm not
clear about with such a setup is how the gui should be able to communicate
with openvpn to check it's status, and recieve error messages?
