I missed something in your list, which *I* would like to see for my users - a way to send a message to the GUI to display in a popup window, intended for the users to see. Examples could be stuff like "you are using a server that will be going away soon, please get an updated profile from your system administrator" (like, when having to migrate due to CA rollover) or "your OpenVPN is old and has known security issues, please migrate to version 2.4.4" or even "please change your Tunnelblick settings to enable OpenVPN 2.4, for better performance and less battery usage (AEAD)" (typically controlled by a --client-connect script on the server side which looks at incoming IV_ attributes and decides what to send, whether to send it on every connect or just once a week, etc. - but that's somewhat out of scope, just to give a bit more background on what I think how I'd use it) Originally, I thought push echo 'my message' would do exactly this, but I've since learned that this is more complicated, so we'll need to define a message type push echo 'message this is my message' or something, agree on max length, encoding, dialog behaviour (shall it be a tray message or non-modal dialog thing? do we want to have options to select either?)... Since I'm just a demanding user, I leave the specifics of that to you :-) (I'm sure Arne will have some ideas as well) gert -- now what should I write here...
