> You should not do this. > You should only use the management interface for all tasks. I know... but this brings new problems: if the configuration is invalid, OpenVPN prints a warning to stderr, but not to the management interface. That makes it hard do debug errors. > Your configuration should contain the following: > auth-retry nointeract > management-hold > management-signal > management-query-passwords > management-forget-disconnect > > So that you can stop/start tunnel using signal SIGUSR1, release from hold. I'm on it, it will be included in the next release... i hope. > Management interface only GUI implementation is missing for Windows. > You can take some example from kovpn [1], it is a good starting point. I am member of the Free Software Lab an I know the maintainer, Daniel Molkentin. But as far as I know, kovpn also has some problems. I started a SourceForge project [1] and a website [2]. I will populate it the next weeks. Feel free to contribute patches and ideas. Perhaps a link on [3] is also possible? :-) Jochen [1] https://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpnmngr/ [2] http://openvpn.jowisoftware.de/ [3] http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/graphical-user-interface.html > Alon. > > [1] https://projects.fslab.de/projects/kovpn > > On 10/12/08, Jochen Wierum <joc...@jowisoftware.de> wrote: >> The Problem is that I read STDIN and STDOUT of OpenVPN.
