Can attest to wireguard being simple once you know it but horrible to get working the first time. I did, however, make it harder for myself by setting it up on a Unifi gateway. Where every push of an invalid config would put the gateway in a boot loop, bricking my internet connection for a few minutes. For the interested: https://github.com/Lochnair/vyatta-wireguard
In Why Not WireGuard
sjy·Jan 30, 2020
For anyone else wanting to set this up at home, I’d recommend installing the vyatta-wireguard module [1] on an EdgeRouter X instead. It costs about the same as a Raspberry Pi, and you get a reliable network appliance with four gigabit ports and PoE, rather than a general purpose Linux box with graphics and USB. I’ve found the WireGuard module to be fast enough to keep up with my 100/40 Mbps internet connection, and now when my Linux server goes down, the network it’s connected to stays up.

In Building a Simple VPN with WireGuard with a Raspberry Pi as Server
indiv0·Nov 7, 2018
If anyone is interested in setting up a VPN with wireguard [0], I'd like to whole-heartedly recommend Algo [1]. It's a set of Ansible scripts that sets up a dual IPSec/wireguard VPN on a VM or other machine. Wireguard itself is already super simple to setup and configure, and Algo makes it even easier by automating most of the surrounding process. I personally used it to setup a VPN a few days ago, and then manually tweaked it a bit to turn it into a site-to-site VPN instead of having it be just for tunneling (fun fact: wireguard works on Vyatta (AKA Ubiquiti) [2], and is currently running flawlessly on my Edgerouter Lite). Seriously, this is amazing software that just works and runs incredibly fast. Huge thanks to Jason and all the contributors to the various projects for their great work.

In WireGuard for iOS

> It looks like they have a crowdfunding campaign to launch a site-site vpn device that is what i meant with the appliance. I can't speak from experience, but what i've read yesterday makes the previously linked comment the most interesting [0] the edge router costs ~$100 and has enterprise hardware. The only missing feature is the management frontend, which isn't stricly necessary. And the referenced vyatta-wireguard [1] has a code excerpt which looks like a site-to-site vpn [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17660518 [1] https://github.com/Lochnair/vyatta-wireguard
In WireGuard is submitted for Linux kernel inclusion
