Run a modern, kernel-space VPN you actually control. WireGuard is fast, audited, and tiny - under 4,000 lines of code. Pair it with a Pulsar67 VPS for a private tunnel that's faster than any commercial provider can give you. From $3/mo.
Commercial VPN providers ask you to trust their no-logs policy. With WireGuard on your own VPS, the no-logs policy is something you can audit - it's journalctl.
Bypass geo-restrictions, secure your laptop on hotel Wi-Fi, route IoT traffic through a clean exit, or build a personal mesh with WireGuard's peer-to-peer model. The endpoint is yours, the keys are yours, the logs are yours (or aren't).
WireGuard runs in the Linux kernel since 5.6. Throughput approaches line-rate on a Pulsar67 VPS - easily 500+ Mbps.
The whole codebase is <4k lines and the server uses single-digit megabytes of RAM. Pulsar Nano handles dozens of peers.
ChaCha20, Poly1305, Curve25519, BLAKE2s. No knobs to misconfigure - fewer ways to get it wrong.
Stateless protocol survives IP changes. Walk from Wi-Fi to LTE without renegotiating - the tunnel just continues.
WireGuard is light. Most users won't outgrow Pulsar Nano. Bandwidth is the only real constraint.
If you can SSH and edit a config file, you can do this.
apt install wireguardwg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey/etc/sysctl.confWe don't proxy your traffic, inspect it, or store it. Your WireGuard config is your business.
No "unlimited" with secret throttles. Cap is stated; overage policy is in the AUP.
Tampa now, Frankfurt next. Drop a new tunnel in another region in <60 seconds.
BTC and ETH accepted. Anonymous billing, if that matters to you.
Pick a plan, deploy, paste the WireGuard config. You'll be tunneling before your coffee's done.
