Clinet OS

Is there is way to find from what OpenVPN client (Androin, iOS, Linux, Windows, Mac) user connected? In Pritunl it is very conveniently displayed and very informative.
Could you add a user client display to the control panel?

I never thought this information was important because I don't want to spy on users. Sure, it is possible to filter this information out of the logs, but is the effort justified?

However, I will save this as a wish. Maybe there will be another point of view ;o)

[IamDontNoob]

Yes, I understand you, and that it will take a certain amount of you time. But maybe you can do it for a donation?
I need this in order to understand some things, since I do it in a country where a lot is prohibited, as well as some protocols, and when they tell me that something does not work, I need to know from which client they are connecting, so that do not ask unnecessary questions. If you remember, I created a question about how to change the encryption protocol from tls-auth to tls-crypt, this protocol does not work in turkmenistan on certain devices and i have to replace it with tls-crypt. some users just can't answer this question because they don't understand it.

All right, I can understand that though and that actually even makes sense. I hadn't considered that there are also people who are denied a really free internet.

I'm also taking a closer look at how I can solve this problem. Thank you for the advice.

A first solution would be to use "multitail" on the shell.

I have just pushed a corresponding version into the git, with which the operating system and the client version used are highlighted in red. (Documentation in the file)

Provided that a log file exists.

Sorry, but how can i install this update and check client os?

[IamDontNoob]

Ah, understood, found it in server log.
Would by nice if it's can be added in Webadmin

[Wutze]

I will do that as soon as I find the time ;o)

[Wutze]

I have found a solution and am working on it at the moment. More later.

[IamDontNoob]

Wow, thank you so much!!!

[IamDontNoob]

Hello, any news?

[Wutze]

Yes, I had planned to finish it at the weekend. Unfortunately, my job is getting on my nerves a bit because a lot of people are on holiday or sick at the moment. That's why I can't give any exact information about it yet. Sorry.
