Small (another word for naive in this case, it's simple and serves my needs) [Rack](http://rack.github.com/) application providing the information the [OpenVPN](http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html) server collects in it's status file especially including a list of currently connected clients (common name, remote address, traffic, ...).
Create a configuration file in YAML format somewhere:
```yaml
# listen address and port
host: "0.0.0.0"
port: "8080"
# logfile is optional, logs to STDOUT else
logfile: "openvpn-status-web.log"
# display name for humans and the status file path
name: "My Small VPN"
status_file: "/var/log/openvpn-status.log"
```

### Init scripts
The [Debian 6 init.d script](init.d/debian-6-openvpn-status-web) assumes that openvpn-status-web is installed into the system ruby (no RVM support) and the config.yaml is at /opt/openvpn-status-web/config.yaml. Modify to your needs.
