Windows (ovpn server) E-mail Notification on Client Connect

whatsmyusername

Hi all - first, my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this working (having searched these forums & google for answers), and I'm sure it should be simple.

I have the OpenVPN server running on a Windows 7 box. I'd like to have it send an email each time a client successfully connects. Reading through the OpenVPN man pages, there appears to be a client-connect option, but I don't know how this properly translates over to Windows (and I haven't been able to find this option in Windows documentation anywhere). Is there a simple way under Windows to either send an email on a successful client connect, or, alternatively, run a batch script?

If I'm going to have my files on a windows box with a port forwarded, I want to ensure that I, and ONLY I, am the one connecting. Thanks for any help.

Perfect, thanks. Sorry for the hassle. I ended up using a combination of scripts in my ovpn config file with the "up" and "client-connect" commands with the following syntax:

...
client-connect connect_up.bat
up server_up.bat
...

I don't think they actually need the "..._up.bat" part as I specify them manually in the ovpn config file and am starting OpenVPN as a service (was testing through the GUI), but I left the names the way they were. Things are working now the way I want. Thanks!
