Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

What should I check first when ocserv behind a reverse proxy is not connecting?

Check that the ServerName does not include the port, that SSL is enabled, and that the certificates are not encrypted.

Why might an OpenConnect client not use the expected DNS server after connecting?

Check whether the OpenConnect server is configured to set DNS for OpenConnect connections. If it is not, the issue is on the server configuration side.

What basic external setup is needed for the Dockerized OpenConnect server?

Port-forward the container's default 443/TCP port from your router to the container's IP. Create a user account before connecting OpenConnect or AnyConnect clients.
