During discussion of the Windows --auto-proxy patches at FOSDEM we've decided that the auto-proxy detection shouldn't take place within openvpn as it is very platform specific and there's no apparent need to do it there. We removed the --auto-proxy option from openvpn all together, it wasn't working much anyway and was only supporting Windows. In a future alpha/beta 2.3 release a GUI will be packaged that reacts to openvpn querying for proxy info via management interface. Currently I can't offer much to test, though.

Obviously you have some nice charts in your GUI. What language did you code this in? I suppose it's not C with plain WIN32 API?
