Open Source WireGuard desktop client with Multi-Factor Authentication

In plain words

Defguard is an open-source desktop client for WireGuard that adds multi-factor authentication capabilities. Built for developers and system administrators who need enhanced security for VPN connections, it combines WireGuard's lightweight protocol with additional authentication layers. The client runs on desktop systems and integrates MFA directly into the connection workflow, making it suitable for teams requiring stronger access controls than standard WireGuard implementations provide.

  WireHub – easily create and share WireGuard networks2023 · wirehub.org · ▲312

  WireHub is a side project I've been working on, on and off, for close to a year now. It's made with django and minimal javascript. It's a hosted WireGuard config generator/manager, that you can invite others to join your networks and manage their own configs/devices. It's still very much a beta, maybe an mvp, but I just wanted to get some early from the community. Thanks!

  TailGuard – Bridge your WireGuard router into Tailscale via a container2025 · github.com · ▲150

  My elderly parents are behind a 5G connection in rural areas, and I help them manage their network from overseas. I found a reasonably priced 5G router that can do external antennas required for it to work, but the only reasonable ways to get access to it is either through OpenVPN or WireGuard, the latter of which is much more lightweight and preferred with the memory constraints of the device. The problem with WireGuard is that it requires handling key management oneself, and configuring the keys to every device you want to access it from. It also doesn't play nicely together with other…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
