      I'm not sure if this is a cosmetic bug or not.
      I think on the main status page where you can add the OpenVPN status,
      That if it is connected should show a green "up" indication versus what it has now.
      A big red X control to halt the service.
      I imagine this is not the intended way this should work or appear?

      Your thoughts?

      I feel more like I do now.

        This looks a bit more like control versus status.
        Maybe misplaced?
        Same thing in the \status\openvpn page
        You have the controls with the big red X
        But no friendly looking green "it's up" indicator.

        Not really critical but am wondering about it.
        I also don't remember how it showed in 2.6.0 as I got rid of 2.6 for all of my OpenVPN
        stuff.

        2.7dev has been working really well for this.
        2.6 kept dropping/losing connections on reboots/power outages or bumping settings.

        I feel more like I do now.

          Hover over the icons, those are two different actions to take. The first one kills the connection but the client can immediately reconnect. The second sends a signal to the client that it should terminate and not reconnect.

          Only P2P instances have an up/down indication in the widget. If a client is listed for an SSL/TLS multi-client setup, then it's up, so showing an icon saying it's up would be redundant since it can never be in the list and be down.
