Using OpenVPN on a VPS may be for the privacy (whatever that means) conscious. After reading this [thread](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/block-certain-sites/1701/5), I went ahead and disabled lighttpd's accesslog by commenting out the following in `/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf`.

> `#`"mod\_accesslog"  
> `#`accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/access\_log"

It would likely be overwritten after an upgrade, and I'm not sure of any other way to disable it.
