## What it is
A self-hosted web application (Django + Vue.js) that provides 1-click deployment of an OpenVPN server to a VPS, with a management console for client profiles and PKI. It also includes a DNS cache with ad-blocking sinkhole for connected clients.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal OpenVPN server on a VPS
- manage OpenVPN clients and generate ovpn profiles easily
- block ads via DNS for VPN-connected devices
- avoid manually configuring easy-rsa PKI
- roll my own VPN instead of a commercial provider

## When to choose
- you want a simple, personal OpenVPN setup with a web UI
- you want DNS-level ad blocking bundled with your VPN
- you prefer self-hosting over commercial VPN services

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained or security-hardened software
- you need WireGuard or modern VPN protocols
- you need enterprise-grade VPN management at scale
