Gentle feedback: if it’s hard to concisely define what Octelium is, it will be hard to convince people to use it.

To me this sounds like an L7 identity & access management layer for wireguard, but again I had trouble parsing the readme.

Thank you. I completely understand your point of view. I did put a lot of effort actually trying to come up with a simple concise description that can fit in an HN 80-char wide title but I simply could not do it. If you think about it, other fairly complex projects such as Kubernetes or Istio are also very hard to concisely describe for newcomers. There is always some assumption that potential users of the project are already acquainted with the terms used in modern zero trust architectures and familiar with similar commercial products such as Cloudflare Access, Teleport, StrongDM and many other related products.
