SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime
I have started developing a prototype of a WireGuard VPN hub, where I could set a custom exit to a specific device, for example, my TV box would use a VPN in Germany, while my desktop a VPN is Serbia and I could switch the exit in realtime without having to stop the VPN connections and consequently no disconnections (ssh, etc). The project grew, and I ended up adding SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy, Tor exits, exit pools, random exits, timed exits, and exits/routes based on domains or IP addresses. I also added an in-house DNS with several default block lists (malware, gambling, social media,…
SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime launched on August 1, 2026 with 9 votes, #1,116 of 23,274 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
SmokeVPN - a logless, centralized VPN command center. One account, many exits, all your devices in one place.
One account, every device, every country - up to 10 devices, no card to start. Private DNS, SOCKS5/HTTP proxies and routing rules included. Give each device its own exit - a specific country, Random, Timed rotation, Tor, or a pool of exits you pick - and switch any time from one dashboard. Changes apply instantly, nothing drops. Logs live in RAM only and are scrubbed continuously. We don't keep a record of your traffic or your IP. A logless resolver that blocks ads, trackers, malware and phishing by default - turn on adult, gambling or social-media blocking per device whenever you want. Always-on SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies come with every account and don't count toward your device limit -…from smokevpn.com

WireHub – easily create and share WireGuard networks2023 · wirehub.org · ▲312WireHub 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!
WireHole combines WireGuard, Pi-hole, and Unbound with an easy UI2023 · github.com · ▲298WireHole offers a unified docker-compose project that integrates WireGuard, PiHole, and Unbound, complete with a user interface. This solution is designed to empower users to swiftly set up and manage either a full or split-tunnel WireGuard VPN. It features ad-blocking capabilities through PiHole and enhanced DNS caching and privacy options via Unbound. The intuitive UI makes deployment and ongoing management straightforward, providing a comprehensive VPN solution with added privacy features.
Firezone, an open-source WireGuard-based alternative to OpenVPN AS2021 · github.com · ▲183I 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,…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
