Topics

Interactive Service

• Review the service component

The Windows service

• openvpnserv.exe is crude, has many issues (e.g. ticket #595 and Selva's email) and nobody has stepped in to fix the code
• There is now a drop-in replacement, openvpnserv2, written in C#
• mattock's ovpnsvcsetup (a simple configuration frontend for NSSM) has not progressed much due to lack of time
• Questions:
  • What do we do about openvpnserv.exe?
  • How do we handle reviews if we decide to make the service component a separate subproject?
  • Do we bundle openvpnserv.exe (replacement) in the standard installers or make it a separate download?
  • Implementation details for openvpnserv.exe
    • 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)?

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