LOL! It took Gert to spot the most obvious scenario ;-) That really re-enforces what I think about this needing to be an "openvpn ping" type solution: it is irrelevant if the server is up or even if openvpn tcp ports appear to be open, it's only evidence that openvpn is working that should be taken as evidence that openvpn is - well - working :-) -- Cheers Jason Haar Corporate Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
