+## Security
+
+OpenVPN recommends running the openvpn binary as an unprivileged user after initialization (see https://openvpn.net/community-resources/hardening-openvpn-security/). The `awsvpnclinet.yml` file includes the `user` and `group` keys, demonstrating how to run
+`openvpn` as the `nobody` user (and group). If those keys are not present, the binary will run continue to run as whichever
+user launched it originally.
+
 ## Todo
 
 * Unit tests
 * General Code Cleanup
 * Better integrate SAML HTTP server with a script or rewrite everything on golang
+
+# Using via Nix Flakes
+
+This program can be run via `nix`, using the `flakes` feature. You will need to know how to install nix and what flakes 
+are in order to follow these instructions.
+
+## Apps
+
+Two apps are defined. One makes it easy to open a tunnel with a given VPN profile, the other lets you run the original program (meaning
+you must provide all arguments):
+
+- *default app* - Use `nix run .` (or replace `.` with the flake reference for this repo) to run the default program. Just give a path to the OpenVPN configuration file and it should work. Note you will likely
+need to run under `sudo`:
+
+```
+$ sudo su
+...
+# nix run . -- ~/.config/AWSVPNClient/OpenVpnConfigs/<profile>
+```
+
+Note that this app is hard-coded to run as the `nobody` user (and group). If that does not exist on your system, you will have
+to override the existing configuration.
+
+- *aws-vpn-client-unwrapped app* - Use `nix run .#aws-vpn-client-unwrapped` to run the original program, allowing more control over arguments given. 
+
+## Packages
+
+This flake provides two main packages, `aws-vpn-client` (also the default package) and `aws-vpn-client-unwrapped`. 
+
+Besides those two packages, it also provides a patched `openvpn` client (necessary to using this program).
+
+### `aws-vpn-client-unwrapped`
+
+This is the original program from this repo, provided for more control over arguments. For convenience, a `awsvpnclient.yml` is generated when the program is installed and is placed 
+in the `bin` directory next to the executable. (It will not be used automatically tho - the original program always looks in the current workign directory or
+your home directory for that file). 
+### `aws-vpn-client` 
+
+This is a wrapper around the original program, updated so you can just pass the path to a VPN configuration and it will open that tunnel. 
+
+## Shell (Development)
+
+This flake uses the excellent tools from `devensh.sh` to provide a Go environment for development. Use `nix develop` to
+enter the shell.
