Too Easy to disable VPN
On the VPN --> OpenVPN --> Servers screen, for each server there is (when running) a green arrow pointing to the right. If you accidentally click on that arrow, you instantly DISABLE that VPN server. Some user interfaces use an arrow, that when you click on it, it points down and expands the section that you'd like to review/edit. For someone who doesn't use this interface daily, you may ACCIDENTALLY click on that arrow, and instantly, yes instantly DISABLE your VPN Server. This is PARTICULARLY bad when you are USING the VPN from a remote location. There needs to be a pop-up saying "Are you sure you want to disable the VPN Server?". Obviously, from a remote location, if you click on that accidentally --- GAME OVER, you're disconnected and cannot connect again, until you get back to your site, or have someone else re-enable the VPN. So the bug in simplistic terms is a GUI bug allowing a user to inadvertently turn off their VPN. Thanks.
