Yes, at my startup we run https://github.com/Place1/wg-access-server inside our kubernetes clusters to give engineers access to local pods vs the k8s DNS (*.svc.cluster.local). It works relatively well but we've had to make a couple modifications: 1. I had to deploy CoreDNS to our cluster and set up DNS query rewriting to redirect queries from *.cluster.mystartup to *.svc.cluster.local because docker on OS X has issues resolving hostnames that end in .local 2. I had to modify the code to support a non-standard MTU to deal with a networking issue related to google cloud.

> wireguard is itching for a nice ui or cli tool for managing configs.... if anyone knows one please let me know... I'm been writing wg-access-server[1] which is an open source all-in-one solution for getting a wireguard based VPN server up and running. There are a few others i've come across as well: streisand[2], wg-ui[3], subspace[4] If you like, i'd be happy to hear about your use-cases and see if I can fit them into wg-access-server :D [1] https://github.com/Place1/wg-access-server [2] https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand [3] https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui [4] https://github.com/subspacecloud/subspace

Ah, this is a fork, NOT the original. I came across the original subspace long time ago when switching from strongSwan (IPsec based VPN) to WireGuard for my own good. There has been no development work for the original project in a while. If you are looking for user friendly web UI for quickly building a VPN for remote access (encrypting traffic / data path between the device and Internet), with easy client management (scan the QR code for client profile thingy) try - wg-access-server [1] - wg-gen-web [2] - wg-ui [3] They all work well in a containerized fashion, all created around the same time when WireGuard was merged into Linux kernel mainline ;-) Simple script worked better for my remote access use case for now, for use cases at scale I'd seriously take Tailscale into account (100 clients for personal - free account).
