Ah... My testing initially is done using un-protected key files, so
I've
not tried any of the password stuff. I thought I would add that later
when
I knew all the other stuff was basically working. I'll look into that,

but would welcome the "start hibernated until given a go" idea. :-)
Cool, are you going to focus on the client side only, or make the GUI
capable of driving an OpenVPN server daemon as well? (The management
interface supports both).
Well, I work for a non-profit organization and my immediate need is to
make
this work for our overseas travellers who are frustrated with the IPSec
stuff
not working in too many places due to odd firewalls/etc. Their needs are
entirely client-side, although I suppose a server-side implementation
isn't
all that much different, just the config stuff up front, the back-end
is much
the same.
I also didn't realize work was already underway on a MacOS GUI. :-) I
just
saw something about it, and sent a note to the developer. My need is
for our
users first and foremost, but I'm very open and willing to share what
I've
got and collaborate to make it better.
Thanks for a great program to build a GUI around. Your team already
did the
hard part, the GUI is easy. ;-)
