Isn't this already easily achievable with ssh? with 'ssh -D[port] foo@somehost' ssh will act as a SOCKS server.

That's fine if you control the endpoint and want to expose ssh on it, but WireGuard endpoints are also commonly available from VPN providers who don't provide shell access.

That is the situation that lead to me to wireproxy; I had a need to use Cloudflare Warp, and no desire to entrust their apt repository with updates to my system.

Added to that their official client has heaps of functionality I have no use for, and wireproxy does everything I want for this usecase with a comparatively tiny amount of code(5MB vs 400MB built). I started the evening with a wg-quick generated config that required root, and ended it using a simple unprivileged daemon that I can toggle easily.
