## Interactive Service

- Review the service component
10
11
## The Windows service
12
- `openvpnserv.exe` is crude, has many issues (e.g. [ticket #595](https://trac.openvpn.net/ticket/595) and [Selva's email](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9237/focus=11040)) and nobody has stepped in to fix the code
13
- There is now a drop-in replacement, [openvpnserv2](https://github.com/xkjyeah/openvpnserv2), written in C#
14
- [mattock's ovpnsvcsetup](https://github.com/mattock/ovpnsvcsetup) (a simple configuration frontend for [NSSM](http://nssm.cc/)) has not progressed much due to lack of time
15
- Questions:
16
- What do we do about `openvpnserv.exe`?
17
- How do we handle reviews if we decide to make the service component a separate subproject?
18
- Do we bundle `openvpnserv.exe` (replacement) in the standard installers or make it a separate download?
19
- Implementation details for `openvpnserv.exe`
20
- Handling of sleep+resume: should the service forcibly kill `openvpn.exe` on sleep, or restart it only if/when it dies after resume? Usability issues (e.g. broken connections)?

22
## Update --block-outside-dns to work on Windows Vista
