+## WireGuard Status Display
+Wg Gen Web integrates a [WireGuard API implementation](https://github.com/jamescun/wg-api) to display client stats.
+In order to enable the Status API integration, the following settings need to be configured:
+```
+# https://github.com/jamescun/wg-api integration, user and password (basic auth) are optional
+WG_STATS_API=http://localhost:8182
+WG_STATS_API_USER=
+WG_STATS_API_PASS=
+```
+To setup the WireGuard API take a look at [https://github.com/jamescun/wg-api/blob/master/README.md](https://github.com/jamescun/wg-api/blob/master/README.md).
+
+Please fell free to test and report any bugs.
