Announcing OpenVPN Control .95 Beta 2

Many improvements have been made in a very short amount of time.

Please feel free to download the tool and check it out.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-control

OpenVPN Control .95 Beta 2 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.
    * Have the ability to force a disconnect.


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.  If your server is running OpenSSH you can run OpenVPN controller from any machine on your network.

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.
 
There is a known issue under Windows were if the putty.exe window is closed or produces a dialog error it will crash the perl application. I have tried to detect and avoid situations were this can occure, but be warned, if you close the openvpn-control launched putty window while the openvpn-control application is still running, it will crash.
