I think you might be surprised how straightforward an app like this would be for Wireguard, and, unlike OpenVPN, for which there are a zillion wrapper options, Wireguard really needs some non-shell-user UX love right now.

Have you considered doing a version of this for Wireguard? It's much, much better than OpenVPN.

Yes, I'm currently researching wireguard and I even renamed the app from OpenVPN@Home to VPN@Home to anticipate this change.

However, Wireguard requires kernel module which is a bit tricky on VPSes and is not compatible with "it just works" mantra.

Just skimming wireguard as this is the first I've heard of it. I haven't got time to read the entire spec tonight as it is late where I am. I see it uses a custom protocol over UDP. Do you know if this is detectable? One of the major advantages of openvpn is the ability to host an sslvpn on port 443 to not have to face any problems with filtering..just wonder if anyone knows if/how wireguard addresses this?

Wireguard might gain a lot of support (especially corporate) by creating a good windows client.

The other day i commented same thing in the Wireguard thread but got downvoted.

I've hard time installing Wireguard on a VPS.
