OpenVPN Control 1.0 ReadMe
What is OpenVPN Control
This application was written for OpenVPN to allow Administrators to easily see:
* Who is connected to your OpenVPN server.
* What IP address and Port they are coming from.
* What IP address they have been assigned.
* How long they have been logged on.
* When they logged on.
* How much data they have transfered.
* How many users are currently connected.
* Have the ability to force a disconnect.
* Gives the ability to view multiple remote servers.
The tool is written in Perl/Tk and is available as the perl source as well
as a compiled Windows executable.
The product should run with no setup from the OpenVPN server, provided
you have the management function activated on your OpenVPN server.
If your OpenVPN server is running OpenSSH you can run OpenVPN control
from any machine on your network using the SSH Port Fowarding section of the
"Configure" screen. In order to administer multiple servers you must
use SSH and port forwarding.
If you use use the "auth-user-pass-verify" command in openvpn to
authenticate via username and password and use a common cert, also
add "username-as-common-name" in your openvpn config file.
The Windows SSH client "Putty" is being distributed with the Windows release. This
software is owned and maintained by Simon Tatham and is being distributed in occordance
with the Putty license.
