This is just awesome! Now OpenVPN got just about every feature I´ve
dreamed about having in a VPN package. When we had a discussion on this
list a few months ago about this kind of functionallity, I thought it
would take years before you (or someone else) would accually write it!

Thanks a lot!

The only feature I´m still missing is either a build in firewall in
the windows client, or maybe preferable a way to control an existing
firewall software from OpenVPN.

I'd like to have something like CheckPoint SecureClient have, so that when
the client connect to the VPN server, the server push firewall rules to
the client and verifies that they are applied before accepting the client.

Any idéas how this could be implemented? Integrating OpenVPN with iptables
on Linux would be fairly simple, but does it exist any firewall for
Windows that could be controlled this way?


Btw, when replying to a mailinglist message like this, should I reply just
to the list, or both to the list and to the original author when no
Reply-To header is set?
