Hello Erik,

Thank you for the patchiest, but I have been working this week on implementing this.

You can find more details about this here:

  https://www.ipfire.org/docs/roadmap/openvpn-26

I asked Adolf to post the patches that he had and which include parts of your previous work to finally get this over the line. Various people have been working on the OpenVPN code over the years creating an absolute mess. The CGI file is by far the longest we have and very difficult to edit without breaking anything else. So I have started a large refactor (not rewrite) to get it into some state where we can work on things better.

That will be needed to implement the things outlined on the roadmap page. NCP is only one of them.

On that page, you can find my current development branch linked which includes many changes so far, but it is not done, yet.

-Michael
