<![CDATA[OpenVPN widget no longer shows connected users (2.6.0)]]>After upgrading to 2.6.0 the OpenVPN widget no longer shows connected clients. It now only shows a single tunnel with status.

"Name TransportType Port"
MyVPN UDP4:1234 (GreenUpArrow)

Backed up my configuration. Warned all VPN users we might be down for an hour.

Unchecked the "Bridge DHCP" option.
Added 172.16.200.0/24 range to the "IPv4 Tunnel Network"
Restarted OpenVPN.

And clients show up in widget and status again! This even fixed an issue where mobile clients lost access when they came onsite without auto disconnecting the VPN connection.

So it looks like the bug isn't quite fixed but this work around is actually better for my setup and I will be sticking with it. Hope this helps others on this very minor but annoying issue.

After much digging through the bug tracker it looks like this has been reported and closed in Bug #12232 but appears that this bug is not completely fixed. Widget and OpenVPN Status both report tunnel type vs clients connected. Hopefully in the next few day I will be able to play removing my DHCP setup and transferring it to a tunnel network range. Will update with results... eventually.

The only thing "not usual" is that this is a TAP VPN.
