Description
The vpn-connection-audit file keeps a detailed log of VPN usage across the organization. It records every successful connection and disconnection, failed connection attempts, protocol usage, endpoint IPs, and session durations. In organizations with a distributed or remote workforce, this file is essential to maintaining visibility into who is connected, when, and from where.
In addition to basic logging, advanced versions of this file may include client version, authentication method used (e.g., certificate, MFA, SAML), and geo-location data of connecting users.
These logs are key to enforcing access policies (e.g., only certain users can connect at specific times), detecting shared accounts or compromised credentials, and responding to compliance audits. They also help determine whether a user was connected during a specific incident or if any rogue VPN clients are attempting access.
The file integrates with SIEM tools or alert systems to flag anomalies such as repeated failed logins, logins from new countries, or session hijacking attempts.

“This file provided exactly what I needed to monitor VPN usage. It was straightforward to implement, and the detailed logging of connection events, including user ID, time, IP, and duration, has been invaluable for ensuring remote work compliance. The ability to identify failed attempts and unusual connection patterns is a fantastic security feature. It’s a must-have for anyone working independently and needing to track VPN activity effectively.”
