Tragic mistake: remotely disabling OVPN server is too easy
« on: December 02, 2017, 06:15:40 pm »
This just happened to me...

I wanted to check the settings for an OpenVPN server, while using the tunnel at the same time.
I don't know why but I am attracted to the "play" icon in the list of tunnels.
A swift click to the left of that line instead of the right and I promptly shot myself in the foot by disabling the tunnel :o

Would you consider adding a confirmation step when disabling a server config?
Thanks!

(I will survive, the server is not too far away.)

+1 for that.
It happens not that often that you manually deactivate/activate or restart a service.
Whenever you disable/enable or restart a service/daemon manually on the GUI you should be prompted to confirm that.

Other than that..... coffee helps alot. :D
