I switched from IPCop to Pfsense because I needed multiple wan
interfaces. Everything is working fine, including my first openvpn
server. With IPCop it I had a great gui to monitor the status of all
connections. I am not seeing a similar way to monitor connections on my
new Pfsense box. Looking through the forums, it seems it may not exist.
I hope that is not the case. Is there a way to monitor vpn connections,
or maybe an addon that allows this?

None that I am aware of in the package manager. You could possibly enable
the openvpn manager but it lacks the security features I would like to have
in place. Nagios or something similar may work for you.

Not until 2.0.

In the GUI, I should add. You can do so at CLI, check the OpenVPN docs.
