OpenVPN widget doesn't update
-
Running 2.3.2 x64 & Chrome 52. I just noticed that the OpenVPN dashboard widget no longer updates itself without a manual browser refresh. I connected via my phone and noticed that the widget didn't show me logged in. F5 and there I was. Then I disconnected. 10 minutes later it shows I'm still connected. F5 and I'm gone. If I remember correctly, 2.2.x was pretty much an instant update on the widget.
Traffic widget has no problem updating in realtime.

I'm not sure "no longer" is appropriate. I don't think it ever did update dynamically. Certainly there is no sign of it in 2.2.5
This is easy enough to add though. I'll schedule it for some time soon.

On 2.2.6, my road users would pop in and the widget would show what time they connected but I must admit I've never seen it happen live since they're all connected before I get into the office. I've noticed that Chrome does a page refresh by itself every so often when I leave the pfSense dashboard open. Maybe that's what was making me think it was updating. What's the point of having a widget in the first place if it doesn't tell you the current connection status??
Thanks for the feature request.

Dynamic update for the OpenVPN widget has been completed and will be available in the next snapshot.
