simple-openvpn-server VS wg-easy

Another option can be openvpn, https://github.com/theonemule/simple-openvpn-server.

its amazing and you don't need to be a expert to use it.

Say I want to setup a VPN between 5 computers. I would need one server that "hosts" the VPN and configuration files for each of the 5 computers. The purpose of the VPN is purely to allow the 5 computers to securely communicate. It does not provide routing to the internet via the VPN. I could probably use something like https://github.com/theonemule/simple-openvpn-server on the cheapest VPS I could find and it would have no problems.

From a technical perspective just go with whichever suits you better - if you have the tech skills to set it up yourself that's probably cheaper. If not, or you don't have time, go with a provider. For a very simple DIY VPN, https://github.com/theonemule/simple-openvpn-server is pretty easy to setup!

Another VPN option is https://github.com/theonemule/simple-openvpn-server - It's open source, all you need is a VPS then run the install script. Once it's finished, you can create clients and download the openvpn config file for them from the web interface.

Check out wg-easy on GitHub. There is also a wg with pinole on their page. Works so easily together. https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy

This wg-easy?

Definitely not an OSI approved license, but does look like they made an attempt in the spirit of GPL, no?

wg-easy running in Docker. Then access it using WireGuard on my mobile devices.

Just plain wg-easy (wireguard with frontend). No 3rd parties involved, just me & my endpoint

I suggest running a VPN server like wireguard (very easy to install on phone and set up using https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy) and have the port open only to that. The VPN will do the rest in terms of NATing ports and whatnot.
