OpenVPN Server Monitor 2.0.0.0
OpenVPN connection checks and email alertsOpenVPN Server Monitor tests configured OpenVPN servers by attempting client connections with valid credentials and .ovpn files. It can monitor multiple servers, including those using username and password authentication, and report outages by email through a local or external SMTP service. Alerts are sent on the first failed check rather than repeatedly during the same outage.

OpenVPN Server Monitor for Windows 10 - Full description
OpenVPN Server Monitor checks whether configured OpenVPN servers can accept a client connection. It is intended for administrators and operators who need a straightforward way to keep track of VPN service availability without relying only on a server's own status reports. The monitor tests a connection using the credentials and client configuration available to it, so the check reflects whether a client can actually reach and authenticate with the service.
The program can find client .ovpn configuration files in the OpenVPNconfig folder and use them when testing servers. For servers that require username and password authentication, it supplies valid credentials as part of the connection attempt. This makes the result useful for identifying failures that might affect users, such as a server being unreachable or a login no longer working. Multiple servers can be monitored, with no stated limit on the number of entries.
Email notifications provide a way to learn about an outage without keeping the monitor window in view. An external or local SMTP server can be configured to send alerts, and the built-in SMTP checker and test-email function help verify mail settings. The monitor sends an alert on the first failed connection test rather than repeating the message at every five-minute check. It sends a new alert if the server recovers and subsequently fails again, or after the checker is restarted, reducing repeated messages during a continuing outage.
This setup suits small offices, VPN administrators and service operators who want a basic availability check for one or several OpenVPN endpoints. Regular automated checks can reveal downtime between manual inspections, while email alerts can bring a failure to the attention of someone responsible for restoring service. It checks connectivity by attempting an OpenVPN session, rather than merely confirming that a host responds to a general network ping.
OpenVPN Server Monitor is trialware and is offered for Windows, including Windows 10 and Windows 11. It relies on usable OpenVPN client configuration files and credentials for the servers being checked, as well as an SMTP service if email notifications are required. The monitor focuses on connection status and alerting; it is not a VPN server or a tool for creating and managing VPN user accounts.
