Hi again, I have not reached very far. I just started in my early networking-days with vtun and i like it because i think it is straight forward for routed widearea wireless networks, where pppoe has a lot of limitations.
We have several hundred clients connected via vtun and what i really need is a simple database integration, which allows us to add/remove users with speed-option, allow/deny access (or just automatic kill removed users), serve ips dinamically and get states and traffic statistics like the stats option gives. I think vtund only lacks a feature for passing dhcp-ips to client like it does with the speed option. Reading config from a textfile or db and log stats to textfile or db shouldn't be a big challenge, i think. As a dirty hack we can even parse db to vtund.conf after every change, reload config if there are changes and parse stats to db.
