I am using the OpenVPN Gui application on my Windows 10 laptop to connect to a variety of locations where I have put OpenVPN servers. This has always until now been a matter of establishing a connection prior to doing something on or via the remote network.
But now I have another use case, which is to communicate with a remote device, which as connected to an OpenVPN server where client-to-client is enabled but where there is no exit server side on the VPN server. So all communications are on the tunnel itself. In this case the process (which works) is this: - Connect to the tunnel-only server - Run the special comm program designed to talk to the remote device - Communicate with the remote device, which is connected 24/7 - When done close down the VPN tunnel I wonder if there is some way (on Windows) to start the tunnel connection from the special comm program and then close it down when the comm session is over and the program closes. I have written the comm program and I could add such a feature if it is possible to accoplish. OpenVPN-GUI is sort of a GUI program so I suspect it does not have any useful hooks... Is there some other way to do this on Windows? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
