Hi,

Lots of discussion on this - awesome to see! Perhaps a dumb question, but I can 
see a few different ways to go on this, as I see comments about services, 
applications, etc. ... so a couple thoughts,
- is the intention to run a service (like NSSM?) that keeps openvpn.exe "alive" 
(restarting it as necessary), so it's always up and running? I admit, I 
somewhat like this approach, one running application for each config file. Then 
control it through the management interface. Or,
- do folks prefer to have "control application" bring openvpn.exe up and down? 
I have tried this, and it's a bit messy, but it is functional also.

Thoughts?

I do believe there may also be TAP related stability issues, but that may be an 
artifact of openvpn.exe crashing - I guess the first step is to get openvpn.exe 
stable?

Thanks,
... Russell

Hi,

it seems that the current version of Securepoint's VPN client is no
longer open source. The repo at
> https://github.com/Securepoint/openvpn-client
has the source for version 1.0.3 (last commit 2 years ago), whereas the
current version (binaries) on sf.net is 2.0.10.

Securepoint's website
http://www.securepoint.cc/products-vpn-clients.html
says "The Securepoint OpenVPN client is free of charge" - the term "open
source" is not mentioned.

Regards,
        Christian
