+* OpenVPN status (including tcp checks)

+
+## How to build it
+
+This appliction was tested to compile with go v1.21 but can be built with earlier versions (seems down to 1.18, not
+sure).
+All you need is go lang compiler and gnu make utility. Invoke
+
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+that will produce binary *i3status-go*. You should place it to some dir intended for storing user binaries (~/.local/bin,
+ ~/bin, or something else) and edit i3wm config according to
+[manual](https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_configuring_i3bar) after editing i3wm config either run **i3status-go** by
+hands and kill it or copy **i3status-go-example.json** to **$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3status-go.json** and adjust it to your
+habbit.
