OpenVPN status page

OpenVPN multi server site to site is very difficult to manage without a status page.

Would it be possible to have this inside Pfsense 1.2.3 ?

Use the managment interface.

There is a status page on 2.0, but 2.0 handles OpenVPN much differently.

I'm working on an OpenVPN status widget for the dashboard, which may also end up having a status page tied to it, but there are many cases I have not yet had the time/hardware to setup for testing various output to be sure I'm on the right track.

It works for me on both ends of my VPN tunnel from home to work, but it's far from ready for general consumption.

This is the problem with complex setups.

Developpers often do not have at hand the testing network to be able to test.

This is specially the case with OpenVPN, IPv6, MultiWAN, MultiLan, ML-PPP, vlans, bonding, QinQ, and other advanced setups.

And professional users can't put beta or alpha software on a production platforme.

I tried to put 2.0 alpha on production but reverted to 1.2.3.

2.0 has very nice features, all that was missing inside 1.2. It is a good mix of the good ideas of zeroshell, the PFsense interface, and FreeBSD.
