Hi Basically I want a setup wherein all network connections from browsers, apps, api calls etc needs to be logged. Only the request URLs needs to be logged. We plan to use OpenVPN source and customise it to connect to a VPN. The assumption here is that its possible to log all requests calls either on the server or client side. Logging will be for all users and not just a subset of the VPN users. Anybody connected to the VPN will have the requests logged.
For e.g. Logs like this. GET http://www.apple.com POST http://api.example.com/someAPI OpenVPN status file does not capture all that we need. -- Thanks Pradeep On 10/07/18, 4:02 PM, "Jan Just Keijser" <janj...@nikhef.nl> wrote: >Hi, > >On 09/07/18 13:30, Pradeep Kumar Udupi wrote: >> Hi >> >> I am trying to setup a VPN for research purposes wherein I use OpenVPN >>as >> a client and use AWS to setup the VPN.
