Tips¶

Check status of logged in clients¶

kill -USR2 $OPENVPN_PID is the magic that causes the server to output its current client status. This may be logged to a different logfile, so look around if you don't see status.

killall -USR2 /usr/sbin/openvpn ; tail /var/log/syslog ;

There also may be a file called /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log with current status. Don't ask me why a status log file is located in /etc/... 🙄
