OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi all,

I'd need a template to monitor the number of open/active OpenVPN connections.
Is there a known way to do this with webmin? Has anyone already a solution for this issue?

why when I enter the script management localhost 7505 has always had an error
openvpn will not run

Many thanks in advance
sorry i can not write properly, because I'm Indonesian
These also help google translate

hi there,

>when I enter the script management localhost 7505 has always had an error

management localhost 7505

when I run
[root@livecd ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting openvpn: [FAILED]

when I delete management localhost 7505
[root@livecd ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn start

maikat will also want to see the content of your log "servers/server/logs/openvpn.log", and set the verb to 3.

so the answer to above will be more obvious.

whether there are additional software/plugin assistance to enable openvpn managemen?
What should enable port 7505 on the iptables?
if yes, how the configuration
