  • Pritunl

    Enterprise VPN server

  • Pritunl might be a solution for your case. I've used it in the past and it checks a lot of boxes (decent UI, users/organisation management, 2FA). However keep in mind that it uses Openvpn protocol and is much slower than WG to connect.

  • firezone

    Open-source VPN server and egress firewall for Linux built on WireGuard. Firezone is easy to set up (all dependencies are bundled thanks to Chef Omnibus), secure, performant, and self hostable.

  • Plugging our project Firezone (https://github.com/firezone/firezone) if you want to leverage WireGuard. We have a web UI and also pretty good documentation! If you try it I'd love to know what you think.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • wg-access-server

    An all-in-one WireGuard VPN solution with a web ui for connecting devices (by freifunkMUC)

  • wg-access-server is the best one I've found as well. Just a heads up, that repo is no longer being maintained but there's an active fork here: https://github.com/freifunkMUC/wg-access-server

  • outline-apps

    Outline Client and Manager, developed by Jigsaw. Outline Manager makes it easy to create your own VPN server. Outline Client lets you share access to your VPN with anyone in your network, giving them access to the free and open internet.

  • wireguard-ui

    Wireguard web interface

  • If you are using Wireguard try Wireguard-ui (https://github.com/ngoduykhanh/wireguard-ui). I use it as a Docker container. The UI is very clear and simple to navigate and you can manage your server and clients directly from it

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
