In the interim I think that would be great as during testing/playing yesterday and last night I was having problems with the connection closing on me after one of the sessions ended.

Another problem that I was having was that my OpenVPN connections were taking a long time to come up and it meant that I was continually increasing the wait time.

Is it possible (this may be something that has to be implemented in RDM) to not report the connection fully up until the server at the other end can be pinged and to implement a dynamic wait for the depending session. Eg. The RDP session will not attempt to connect until it either gets a "successful" from the VPN connection or it can actually ping the host it is trying to connect to?

Sweet, that will actually work better for me as I have 3 - 4 different internal machines that I need to get through via the same VPN connection.

Do you know if the VPN session will be held open as long as one of the sessions is using it (if I set the auto disconnect option)?

That build worked great!! Thanks for you're help and excellent response times.

I just have one last question, is there any way to specify a delay before trying to connect the session (or can it wait for a success response from OpenVPN). The RDP session that runs over the VPN is attempting to connect before the VPN is established and then timing out as the VPN takes a couple of seconds to establish.

Have just updated to 1.1.0.4 and I'm still having the same problem.

The error occurs when I actually try and to connect the session. I have been creating the OpenVPN config manually. Does the addon create the config and cert files on the fly (from the database options) and if so is there somewhere I can check to see if they are being created properly?

BTW Thanks for the quick reply

Hi,

I've been trying to get this addon to work as I currently use OpenVPN to connect to most of my clients before I RDP to server etc. I cannot seen to get the config to work though I keep getting the following error trace
