I would rather go for automtic configuration for RoadWorriors rather than useing complicated managment tool like this.
Remember our goal is to simplify user's administration.

How about options manage the service?


How would you like to see this implemented? Just another menu item that can start/stop the service?

What about multiple configs started by the service. Should the GUI be able to start/stop these individually? How do we do this?

When we have the "management protocol" ready we should be able to use this to hook into the processes started by the service.

To be able to stop a process started by the service and then start it again, we would need either:

1. A "SUSPEND" mode in openvpn, so we can tell it to "stop", but the process should still be running, but inactive, so we later can tell it to start again (still running as the same user as the service wrapper started it as.).

2. What Jan Kiszka suggested, an openvpn process running capable of forking of new processes with a specific config-file.
