Information about the client connection on the server

[ivanp]

Hi everyone,

I build my first network based on OpenVPN. But i want to know who is connected to the serwer. Is there any possibility to get some po-pup or something like that when the client is connected to the server ?

On our linux based OpenVPN server we use the status file:

Put these lines in openvpn config

Code: Select all

status openvpn-status.log 5
status-version 2

This creates a file named openvpn-status.log which contains information on active connections.

Where Can I eneble management interface ? And how use control program ?

[maikcat]

hi there,

just add

management 0.0.0.0 7505

to your server config
the 7505 is tcp port that management interfaces listens
using 0.0.0.0 ip interface is accessible from everywhere...

download openvpn control (from sourceforge i think)
install it (win version)
create new connection ,use server ip ,port and connect...

cheers,

Michael.
