Description:
 Kovpn is a simple OpenVPN GUI which is intended
to fit end-user's needs. It runs without root
privileges and can control the most important
functions of openvpn:

* connect and disconnect
* username and password input
* private key passphrase input
* show status
* supports multiple openvpn connections
* Store username and/or passwords in kwallet
* Supports OpenVPN's management interface access
control
* Simple DCOP interface (status report, connect,
disconnect)
It requires some changes to your openvpn
configuration file: You have to activate the
management interface by adding these lines

management 127.0.0.1 11194
management-query-passwords
management-hold

The last line is optional.

You should choose localhost or 127.0.0.1 as host
and a any unused port (e.g. 11194). You have to
tell kovpn these host and port settings.

Please report any bug you find. It isn't well
tested.

Current Translations: English, German

Binaries are available for OpenSUSE 10.3 and 11,
