Hi,
this situation has been hanging around for so long is this brief note
really enough? Considering that the manual has numerous other URLs why
not include this URL here:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Pushing-DNS-to-clients
We already have this:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/SWEET32
Reinserted from my original post:
Please consider adding it.
the problem with URLs is that they become obsolete and we need to
re-patch the manual in order to update them (or ensure the URL always
work/redirect to something).
However, I was thinking that a WARNING in the log when parsing a
dhcp-option without any script configured (on non-windows platform) may
also be beneficial.
Not many people will read it, but at least it will be there to be seen
at the first attempt of understanding what's wrong.
What do you think?
The argument against using URLs in the Manual has these facts to refute:
* URLs are already in use in the manual
* I cited another example of using a URL in the manual.
* Some URLS in use in the manual are external to openvpn.net
* Using URLs in online documentation is The standard practice.
* There are even URLs in the Openvpn log files ..
It is easier to maintain linked documentation than it is to have to
patch the source so, given that the link is under the openvpn.net wing,
this seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Adding a warning for this problem in the log file is unsuitable:
* When the situation changes the source will have to be maintained.
* The situation will change.
* It is easier to maintain linked documentation to account for change.
* Log files are for diagnosing problems and should not have any URLs..
(Except for one URL to ${help}.openvpn, a URL which is unlikely to
change and can therefore be easily maintained by OpenVPN Inc and remove
that burden from the FOSS Openvpn development team)
my2c thanks

This said, the warning could/should be implemented as a separate patch.
