EDITOR'S DEEP TAKE

Scripts that deploy a personal WireGuard or IPsec VPN to a cloud provider in a few minutes, with sensible defaults and no dial to turn wrong. The point is not anonymity, and the project says so plainly — it is for protecting your traffic on untrusted networks like hotel and airport Wi-Fi, where the alternative is trusting a commercial VPN with the same data you were trying to protect. Maintained by Trail of Bits, a serious security firm, which is why the defaults can be trusted. AGPL-3.0, Ansible-driven. Tradeoff: you pay for and maintain the server, and because the exit IP is yours alone it is worse than a shared VPN for blending in.

Use this if

You want a personal VPN for untrusted networks and would rather trust your own server than a VPN company.

Skip if

You want anonymity or geo-unblocking — a single-user exit IP is the wrong tool for both.
