💖 openvpn3-session-stats — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for openvpn3-session-stats(1), part of the OpenVPN 3 Linux family, and it's literally your lil' window into what your VPN session is doing right now ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

openvpn3-session-stats — OpenVPN 3 Linux – VPN session statistics 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

openvpn3 session-stats [OPTIONS]
openvpn3 session-stats -h | --help

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works: it hands you the tea on a specific VPN session — up-to-the-minute stats, no cap 💅

And here's the thing bestie, the output is dynamic, meaning it shows you only what actually got registered as events. So like, no event? no line. It's giving "we only report what happened."

Typically you'll see stuff like bytes and packets sent, reconnection attempts, time-outs, and other related events. iconic behavior tbh 🌈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — prints the usage and help details right there in your terminal. your lil' cheat sheet, go off 👑
• -o SESSION-PATH, --path SESSION-PATH — the D-Bus session path pointing at the session that's currently running, aka the one you wanna query. yes, you need the path, it's not a mind reader 🙈
• --session-path DBUS-PATH — just an alias for --path. same energy, different name 💖
• -c CONFIG-NAME, --config CONFIG-NAME — instead of --path, you can give the configuration profile name 🎀 But heads up: the CONFIG_NAME must be the configuration name that was active when the session was started. not whatever it's called now, the original one. periodt.
• -I INTERFACE, --interface INTERFACE — also an alternative to --path: just hand over the tun interface name being managed by OpenVPN 3 🧚
• -j, --json — formats the output as JSON instead of the formatted plain text. for when you wanna pipe it into something and be a main character about it 🔥

a lil vibe check reminder: since only registered events show up, don't panic if your output looks shorter than you expected — that's the design, bestie, not a bug 🌸
