The status is reviewed of the lattice studies of confinement by dual superconductivity of QCD vacuum. Progress is made by proving that the existence and the creation of a monopole are gauge invariant concepts. This proof fully legitimates an existing order parameter, and with it the evidence it provides of monopole condensation in the confining vacuum.
