Title: Who is connected to my VPN?
Post by: miked on October 13, 2001, 04:33:49 AM

Hello All,

I have friends connect to my e-smith box via VPN. What I need to know is. Is there any commands in Unix or any Windows commands/utilities that can tell you information about who is connected to your VPN? or when there is a VPN connection made. At teh moment I have no way of knowing if someone is connected to my VPN or not.

At the moment I change the password after every connection so my friends can only connect when I want them to :)

TIA
miked

If you log in as root and look through the /var/log/messages file you will find a line logged by pppd: 'peer authentication succeeded' with the user login name.

Netstat command could help too! (windows and/or linux)
