-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there,
It's been a long time since I contributed to OpenVPN, but I've used it on and off since 2004. I recently wanted to have a single instance of OpenVPN support multiple clients, segregated into separate VLANs based on their credentials. After a little research I found that Fabian Knittel (CCed) had a set of patches from 2010 living in a feature branch that never got merged [1], and that there was an outstanding ticket from 2012 [2] to get these patches into the main release. Contacting the author (and another member of OpenVPN from [2], also CCed) I found out that he'd been keeping the patches reasonably up-to-date [3] and been using them for a university server for several years. I've both read through, rebased and built the patches and they seem quite straight forward and comprehensible (and having set up a small test rig, they work too!). 5:) There are, however, 22 of them as created by git format-patch. Given I didn't author most of these patches (I fixed up a tiny bit of documentation at the end), I was wondering how best to supply these so that they could be considered for inclusion in the main tree? Should I submit a pull request from my repo with all the patches applied [4], or post the git format-patches to this mailing list, or is there another method I should be using? I'm keen to get this added so that a single OpenVPN instance can appropriately segregate traffic without requiring multiple configurations. I'm happy to try and make any changes required (although since my C skills are limited, I'm also hoping the original author may be able to help out). Please just let me know how best to proceed...
