Qué vigila DumbMonit
OpenVPN's server process exposes its own control channel, the management interface: a local TCP listener, separate from the VPN itself, made for a monitoring tool rather than for a VPN client. DumbMonit reads it like any management client: the server's version, whether it reports itself connected, and every client currently in session, with its real and virtual address and its traffic. Nothing is ever sent that would change the server's state or disconnect a client. Clients are transient by nature — a laptop that goes to sleep simply disappears from the next reading.

Pasos de configuración: Turn on the management interface
Add this line to the server's configuration (server.conf, or as.conf on OpenVPN Access Server) and restart OpenVPN.
management 0.0.0.0 7505Recommended: protect it with a password, put in a file readable by the OpenVPN process alone and added as a third argument.
management 0.0.0.0 7505 /etc/openvpn/management-passwordIn DumbMonit, enter the server's address (vpn.lan, port 7505) and the management password if one is set.
Ojo. Anyone who reaches the management port and knows the password can disconnect clients and reconfigure the running server: allow only the DumbMonit host in the firewall and set a password.
