      Hi,

      as we have more and more complex OpenVPN Client/RAS setups, it would be tremedously helpful to add a few features (or make others configurable).
      Those would be:

      • Host Name Resolution: Add an additional option like 'Advanced only' so no remote statement is automatically added. That would be immensly helpful when setting up complex configurations with multiple Hostname/Port combinations you'd set up via the advanced options/custom options textbox anyway so the auto-added remote statement would actually be obstructive to the whole config. Currently we can "workaround" it (by using automagic ddns and not setting up any ddns domains, so the line stays empty) but that shouldn't be the way to go :)
      • verbosity level should be configurable as dropdown like the server (0 default, 3 recommended)
      • connect-timeout or server-poll-timeout should be configurable as well as keepalive like in server configs
      • Of course if we could add multiple custom remote statements kinda like a list you could add to (e.g. like a Host Alias adding multiple IPs) that would be great, but currently we just put those in the custom config box.

      Cheers

      If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.
