- New option --command <action> <params> to send commands to
a running instance of openvpn-gui.exe
Supported actions are
connect, disconnect, reconnect
each of which takes the name of the config (with or without the
extension .ovpn) as a parameter;
disconnect_all, exit
which take no parameter and
silent_connection
which takes an optional parameter = 0 or 1 (1 is the default)
Examples: with the gui running, start a new instance as
openvpn-gui.exe --command disconnect myvpn : ask running instance
to disconnect myvpn if connected
openvpn-gui.exe --command status myvpn : ask running instance
to show the status window for myvpn if available
openvpn-gui.exe --command disconnect_all : ask running instance
to disconnect all active connections
- The second instance exits after issuing a SendMessage to the
already running instance. If no action is specified, the running
instance is notified to show a balloon to alert the user
- These messages may also be sent from scripts as COPYDATA messages
with the wData element specifying the action to execute and lpData
a pointer to the parameter. The dwData param must be one of
WM_OVPN_xxx with xxx = START, STOP, RESTART, STOPALL, EXIT or
SILENT. See main.h for their values.

Asynchronously read Input on the service pipe which are mostly
errors reported by the service. Display the errors on the status log
window and to the log file if its not opened by openvpn.
If/when openvpn fails to start or exits with error, close
the connection without waiting for management socket timeout.
v2:
- rebase to master
- fix a bug in setting manage.connected state
- ensure management socket is closed and resources freed before thread exit

Proxy settings are fetched from the users Internet Options
for the active connection. If WPAD or a PAC script is configured
they are preferred and used for automatic proxy detection.
Proxy bypass configuration is completely ignored.
