Their watch has ended .

That's a perfect ending: the need is no longer there, so it's fulfilled its purpose and can close.

what is the alternative? I love how easy pivpn is

I'm going to attempt moving to wg-easy on Docker which is supposed to be, you know, easy...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

+1 for wg-easy.

It is, indeed, very easy.

pivpn takes care of adding and removing new clients for me. does wg easy make it convenient as well?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It provides you with a very simple web interface, basically only a list with connections and a button to add a new one.

Works very good. It can not do advanced stuff, but that is not the goal anyway.

thx

As far as I know there's a web interface to sort out all that kind of stuff.

I just run a wireguard container on my raspberry pi 3b and use that to VPN onto my local network. Was super simple to set up

Yeah, that's kind of what I was wondering. Turns out you can't really do much useful with a self-hosted local VPN, but I like having the option of using one be something my VM host server provides.
