The plaintext password could probably be replaced by hashed passwords. Directly within the spec. Even though it already allows additional or different layers of security, this motivates developers to implement a basic level of security right into the application layer.

So, this is not actually keyless SSL but SSL using something like a Hardware Security Module over networked PKCS#11. Did I miss something?

I just tested GlassWire with OpenVPN on Windows 7 64-bit. I get an instant bluescreen as soon as the GlassWire driver is installed and started and OpenVPN is connected. The order doesn't matter, as soon as both applications are active, boom. Please investigate. I had to manually remove the driver, because the bluescreen occurred during installation and corrupted the deinstallation routine.

A mileage tracking app that primarily uses the following input methods:

- taking a photo of the current mileage displayed on the dashboard that is automatically analyzed using text recognition technology.

- the current position (using the phones location information, e.g. GPS and cell-tower information) and address.

In case the photo cannot be interpreted or the location is not know, it should also be possible to manually enter the required information using an easy to use interface. It should be possible to categorize trips and take a "snapshot" at the origin and destination location.
