I made it because my friends and I use wireguard to have a private network, and they don't feel comfortable running a ssh server on their machines. It can also be used with a vpn provider like Mullvad without setting up a new nic or requiring special privs.

I want to point out a caveat to others: Proxifier != VPN

wireproxy's wg only forwards TCP and UDP. I am not sure how ICMP is handled. Other transports, though rarely used, won't be tunneled (and may leak, if not dropped).

Most importantly missing: DNS, which usually is handled over UDP (changing slowly now with DNS-over-HTTPS and some TCP resolvers). Without handling DNS requests via your proxy, you're still leaking information about yourself to the resolver you're using.

SOCKS5 supports DNS queries. Not sure if this project implements it though.

To clarify, UDP is not currently supported, but I intend to support it in the future. Incoming ICMP should be completely dropped, and outgoing ICMP is not supported.
