Show HN: Auto-VPN – Deploy temporary WireGuard servers with automatic cleanup

Auto-VPN is a self-hosted tool that lets you deploy personal WireGuard VPN servers on-demand and automatically removes them when they're not in use. I built it to avoid paying for VPN subscriptions and to make temporary secure connections easier to manage. *Key features:* - One-click WireGuard server deployment on Vultr/Linode - Automatic server cleanup when inactive (configurable: 30min/1h/2h/4h or custom) - Simple web UI for server management - Downloads WireGuard configs directly The cleanup feature monitors WireGuard connections - if no peers are connected for your set period, the server is automatically destroyed to save costs. You can adjust this timeout in the UI. GitHub: https://github.com/g1ibby/auto-vpn Looking forward to your feedback!
