PiVPN for classic VPN software https://pivpn.io - Wireguard would be my choice

Can't get it to run after installation, although running vpn from this pi before

Easy VPN install on Debian
Wondering what people are using these days to get a VPN (Wireguard?) up and running easily. Is Wireguard itself simple enough that one can just ... do this? I'm thinking of something like PiVPN which does appear to still exist but I'm unsure of how up-to-date it is. Specifically, I like terminal commands just fine, but would prefer not to have to manually configure a basic VPN (internet gateway) and its associated profiles/certificates.

Wireguard without VPS?
If you really want some hand holding, PiVPN is even easier.

Remote Access
They're easily set up via the guided PiVPN installation script. Should work on everything that's Debian-based, not just on Rasbian running on a Pi.

Build your own private WireGuard VPN with PiVPN
under Features in [1]:
* Doesn't need to be a Raspberry Pi™, It runs on any x86_64 system
yes the webui now has some convenience options for generating and importing configs, but there's still a gap (as in default package installed) in client profile management or network management on cli.
What pivpn (and similar tooling wrapping lower level commands) bring along is this client management and even some network topology/routing management : https://docs.pivpn.io/wireguard/ and https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn/tree/master/scripts/wireguard
I think it's a interesting spectrum between wg-cli and tailscale.

To get up and running quickly there's pivpn on a VM. It'll give you a qr code to scan for wireguard.

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Is there an Android app that blocks the ads on games?
It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
