openvpn-status-web

Build Status

Description

Small (another word for naive in this case, it's simple and serves my needs) Rack application providing the information the OpenVPN server collects in it's status file especially including a list of currently connected clients (common name, remote address, traffic, ...).

It lacks:

  • tracking multiple status at the same time
  • newer status file versions than v1
  • caching (parses file on each request, page does auto-refresh every minute as OpenVPN updates the status file these often by default)
  • management interface support
  • possibly more...

Usage

Install the gem:

gem install openvpn-status-web

Create a configuration file in YAML format somewhere:

# 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"

Your OpenVPN configuration should contain something like this:

# ...snip...
status /var/log/openvpn-status.log
status-version 1
# ...snip...

Advanced topics

Authentication

If the information exposed is important to you serve it via the VPN or use a webserver as a proxy to handle SSL and/or HTTP authentication.

Init scripts

The Debian 6 init.d script 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.
