Really nice work on this--thanks for sharing!

You saved me with my OpenVPN setup. I wrote a Python script to authenticate the user-provided username and password against Azure AD, but the darn thing wouldn't run. I think I spent four hours trying to figure out why before I found you ovpnserver.conf file with the "script-security 3" directive.

Little things, right? : ) Anyways, thanks a million @joltcan and @mrizvic for the fantastic work!!

@virtualizer117 I really appreciate your comment! It really sparks the motivation to sharing is caring spirit when one puts so much effort in joining github.com just to show their gratitude to another stranger :)

@mrizvic Absolutely! Again, so very grateful to have found this gem. The code is solid, and your files were enlightening. Y'all rock!!
