      Hello,

      I've configured a L2TP server on my box few days ago and noticed just now one unpleasant thing: I can't monitor L2TP clients at all!

      "Status -> Monitoring" tab has no L2TP related stuff at all.

      "VPN Users" does not show L2TP users.

      Kinda, sad story.

        Status -> System Logs -> VPN -> L2TP Logins (and service)

          Yeah, that's the ONLY thing where you can see thousand of logins. Don't get what you meant by "and service" tho. I know you do understand that this is just not enough.

            That's all up to what can be done with mpd.

            Perhaps if you used RADIUS auth and the RADIUS server tracked online users you could see what you're after
