The functionality in the GUI will be the same as in the patches posted earlier 
using WPAD, PAC and the IE settings to get proxy info out of Windows.

Isn't NTLM auth supported by openvpn already? I guess that'll be an easy 
improvement, just a checkbox to activate the option. Is there anything else?

Isn't that handled within openvpn good enough or does --keepalive not react 
fast enough for your needs?

Things like these are interesting for tech people, I don't think that the 
average user will get much out of it. UL/DL stats added to the tool tip of the
