[Openvpn-devel] How to check is OpenVPN port is open

[Lucas M. <luc...@gm...>]

Hi all,

briefly: I'm helping in the development of an educational software to apply
online tests. The client will connect to the server through OpenVPN to
perform the test. I would like to check if the OpenVPN port is alive and
accepting connections (check if there is port filtering, and so on.. ).

I'm programming in python.

Does someone know to achieve that? I'm trying to create a socket and send
any message to the server, but no response, is there any kind of "hello" or
something like this?

I'm a begginer programmer, maybe this is really easy, but I didn't figure it
out and neither found at google.

Thanks in advance.

Lucas.
