You could look at the TARGET_ANDROID. That uses the management interface and
fds over unix socket to achieve something similar.
Do you think it would be feasible to enable TARGET_ANDROID by default
in the Linux OpenVPN builds, and change the logic so that if the user
passes e.g. "--android" it will accept commands over the management
socket instead of using the standard CLI?
I'd vote against enabling TARGET_ANDROID by default - there's a reason
the code is split into
TARGET_LINUX
TARGET_FREEBSD
TARGET_SOLARIS
etc and I'd say you're asking for trouble if you enable two TARGETs on
one platform.
This would not work with ocproxy as-is, but I could write a wrapper program.
I do like the idea of not needing root access to run openvpn - esp
windows users could benefit from this, as they're not always allowed to
install the tap-win adapter. Then again, it goes against the UNIX/Linux
philosophy that each tool (e.g. openvpn) should do one thing and it
should do it well. By adding patches like this left and right we're
steering away from that philosophy.
