Sets the OpenVPN management interface IP address to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and TCP port 17562. # Enable OpenVPN Management Interface on localhost using TCP port 17562 Status /var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log OpenVPN management interface TCP connection can be enabled by editing the OpenVPN server configuration file and adding the line, management IP port. It is therefore strongly recommended that you set the OpenVPN management Interface IP to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) to restrict accessibility of the management server to local clients. While using the Unix socket is the recommended method, the openvpn-monitor tool uses OpenVPN management interface TCP connection. ![]() OpenVPN management server can be enabled on a Unix socket or on a designated TCP port. The OpenVPN Management interface allows OpenVPN to be administratively controlled from an external program via a TCP or unix domain socket. Openvpn-monitor tools requires that OpenVPN management interface is enabled.
