## What it is
A self-hosted web UI for managing OpenVPN users, certificates, and client routes on Linux servers. It is written in Go with a Vue.js frontend and exposes Prometheus metrics for monitoring VPN usage and certificate expiration.

## Use cases
- manage openvpn users through a web interface
- generate and revoke openvpn client certificates
- generate ready-to-use openvpn config files for users
- monitor openvpn connections and certificate expiration with prometheus
- manage per-user client config directory (ccd) settings
- sync openvpn certificates between master and slave servers
- add password-based authorization to openvpn users

## When to choose
- you administer an openvpn server on linux and want a simple web UI for user and certificate management
- you need prometheus metrics for your openvpn server
- you want to run the whole stack easily via docker or docker-compose
- you need master/slave certificate syncing across openvpn servers

## When to avoid
- you need hardened, production-grade security - the project explicitly does not strictly validate inputs and is meant for trusted, network-protected environments
- you use a VPN solution other than OpenVPN (e.g., WireGuard)
- you need a multi-tenant or publicly exposed VPN management panel

## Facets
