I am developing and I am lazy so NO ETA.
I'd be interested in it for WHMCS.

What is it worth it to you to have this easy and convenient module for turnkey VPN service launch & management?
I checked Other because I would like to see a scaling price plan e.g. $20 per 100 active slots or something like that with an upper 'unlimited users' tier e.g. $150 p/m without limits would be fine, I would not want to pay $100 p/m while building the service up though as it would never be a primary revenue stream.
Well now I just realized the context of this comment I think that my answer stands but with an interested dev , nothing worse than hanging a revenue stream on someone that cant be bothered to do the dev work.
That will largely depend on the delivered product. In my opinion such polls are a waste of time until the product, which most likely never even see the light of day, is finished.
Obviously there is currently a large demand for VPN services and therefore also demand for an easy management system people could integrate into their current infrastructure. If you are serious about it you should, at least at first, support the most popular billing system which, as far as i know, is WHMCS.
FYI - I already have the module completed essentially, I am debating whether or not this is something that I want to start offering publicly as a paid product though.
Radius modules for WHMCS are quite common, I think we even open-sourced our Radius module about 24 months ago. I remember reading something on WHMCS forum about it.
There are a few Indian VPN solutions for WHMCS they interface with Radius and they handle client configuration.
Ultimately if someone is going to run a VPN company at any serious level they will just take an existing module and just hack it together for their needs
