What it does

WireGuard is a fast, modern, and secure VPN tunnel. This app allows users to manage and use WireGuard tunnels. The app can import new tunnels from archives and files, or you can create one from scratch.

The app is good, the on-demand feature is a nice addition that Windows doesn’t seem to have. My only gripe is that it seems to really bug out if the Mac goes to sleep or switches WiFi networks with the connection up. Not sure if it’s related to on-demand, or in general, but it seems to stall out the VPN tunnel where no data ever gets sent/received according to the tunnel manager, and the computer just seems to act like it no longer has internet. Things indefinitely load, time out, no notifications come through - you turn the tunnel off and back on, and boom, everything starts working again. This happens to me once or two dozen times a day depending on the day, I use my Mac for remote work a…from apps.apple.com

  • 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…

  • 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!
