WireGuard is a less complex VPN solution compared to OpenVPN and IPsec. WireGuard Easy simplifies the process even further by allowing you to operate a VPN and manage clients through a user-friendly web interface.
WireGuard [1] implements a virtual private network (VPN) using state-of-the-art cryptography, emphasizing speed and simplicity. It enables you to run an encrypted tunnel over the Internet, securing your network traffic over an untrusted network. WireGuard has been part of the Linux kernel since Linux 5.6 (March 2020), but it also supports various other operating systems, including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Installation instructions [2] for all these operating systems are available on the WireGuard website (Figure 1).

WireGuard Easy [3] allows easy management of WireGuard connections through a web interface. In this article, I'll guide you through installing WireGuard Easy to manage a VPN server and show how to manage clients.
