subspace VS wg-gen-web

When I look into vpn servers, I find easy installers, which directly work on linux (e.g. angristan/wireguard-install) or also vpns, which operate from docker (like kylemanna/docker-openvpn). Then there are options, where multiple things are included, like firezone or this. I am not so sure how well they integrate with my reverse proxy and some seem to be much more complicated than others.

Subspace

That is nice to see, I was looking at subspace last week and the last commit to https://github.com/subspacecloud/subspace had led me to believe it had withered and died, I was guessing due to the primary backing company having died?

So it is quite nice to see that it is living on as a fork.

Another UI-enabled alternative for WireGuard is Subspace. And another simple-as-hell option for managing VPN profiles (with OpenVPN and WG compatibility, but no web interface) could be running PiVPN on any Ubuntu/Debian host.

Have you checked https://github.com/subspacecloud/subspace ?

For client devices (like phones, laptops, workstations) i use wg-gen-web

If he goes funky there's always this: https://github.com/vx3r/wg-gen-web

I ended up working with wg-gen-web (https://github.com/vx3r/wg-gen-web). It’s pretty slick looking, easy to use, and after some struggles I managed to get authentication working. I also tweaked the docker image to change a few things to my liking (page title, etc). I still feel like this is the missing piece in WireGuard. I know it’s still new, but with this GUI, I have a pretty damn good solution for the few users I have that need it.

You would have to do some more Setup around it but wg-gen-web can do this

Not sure about running wireguard itself in a container but i've been running this GUI and the github page also provide some systemd hooks so that when the config changes, wireguard is restarted on the host.

There are scripts that generate the configs for you but also web services you can host yourself which also have a nice ui.

Your VPN (Wiregiard) is independent of that - it will allow you to access the Rpi itself from outside (as if you were in your LAN). I recommend https://github.com/vx3r/wg-gen-web to manage your WG configuration.
