Products that do what Chained VPN routing lab with Linux netns, veth, and iptables does

I built a chained VPN lab to support multi-user traffic isolation using only raw Linux tools. Each user gets: - A WireGuard tunnel - A dedicated namespace (wg-$user) bridged via veth - NAT and routing table override - A second namespace (ovpn-$user) running OpenVPN - Final egress through tun1 The entire setup is controlled with bash scripts and PostgreSQL — no Docker, no containers, no Python, just raw netns, iptables, ip rule and shell. Built for GDPR-compliant VPN infra with real isolation per collaborator. Code and README:…

Firezone, an open-source WireGuard-based alternative to OpenVPN AS▲183
I created Firezone to make it easier to host and manage your own WireGuard VPN server. While working at Cisco as a security automation engineer I experienced a lot of unnecessary pain managing secure network-level access into our cloud VPCs. I tried OpenVPN Access Server but I personally feel that security software should be open source to be validated (and improved) by the community. I discovered WireGuard and quickly fell in love with it, but soon found managing the peer configs to be a bit tedious and error-prone. So I built some convenience functionality on top, added a simple Web UI,…

I built a tool to use my homelab apps remotely without a full VPN▲5
Hi HN, I'd like to share a small Go utility I wrote called prxy. The idea was born out of my frustration with accessing my self-hosted services when I'm on the go. I use WireGuard to connect to my homelab, but I really dislike sending all my computer's traffic through my home network — it slows things down and is inconvenient. I wanted proper application-level split-tunneling. A tool I love, wireproxy, got me most of the way there by creating an HTTP proxy from a WireGuard peer. This is perfect for apps that let you configure a proxy. The problem was the other 10%: apps that don't. Think of…
