GUI Options
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.

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.
