Setting up a home VPN server with WireGuard

Check LowEndTalk for cheap VPS. That’s where I head when I need few to play with or for things like a seedbox.

Most VPS services I've used don't have the WireGuard kernel module installed and, of course, you can't install kernel modules in VPSs.

You can install kernel modules in most types of VPS. OpenVZ is the only somewhat common type that doesn't support it.

KVM VPSs are generally significantly more expensive than OpenVZ, so for side projects where I want a cheap (<$5/mn) plan I've always used the OpenVZ VPSs.

You can use the go implementation of wireguard (wireguard-go). This way you don't need a kernel module. Works for me on a really cheap OpenVZ VPS since months.
