== Overview == A Nagios plugin for checking whether or not an OpenVPN server is alive. We don't actually interact with the OpenVPN server; we merely send it a a magic (heretofore unexplained) byte sequence and ensure that we get some kind of response. If the server uses a TLS auth key, the response will be empty but at least it will come, preventing a timeout. == Examples == Perform a basic check using the default port and protocol: $ check_openvpn-simple vpn1.example.com OK 22.471ms Check a server that runs on TCP/443 (this is used to sneak past firewalls that allow HTTPS but block other traffic): $ check_openvpn-simple --tcp --port 443 vpn2.example.com OK 14.801ms
