a simple dashboard to set up and manage a wireguard vpn server

Cool, haven't tried it, YET, but will be. Any chance it has the option to export configs, I.e. use as a config generator for multiple devices?

Have you set up WireGuard yet? It's approximately as simple as setting up SSH; the only thing it adds over SSH is IP addresses.

No I never tried WireGuard. I read the docs a bit a few months ago. The thing is that for my usage sshuttle is enough and with it I have literally nothing to setup. WireGuard can't beat that. I'll keep your remark in mind in case I need an actual VPN in the future :).

Another less-hassle connectivity solution is ZeroTier.com. They provide a fully open-source solution, but the hassle-free bit involves using their registration service (free for ~100 devices or so).

They run something like Ethernet over IP, so your "segment" auto-configures via normal ARP, as if it were a LAN, as long as your devices have a connection. What's great e.g. for laptops and phones is that devices physically on the same network do talk directly, not via a VPN proxy node.
