Check out Algo [0] if you're interested in setting up a personal WireGuard VPN server. It's simple and hassle-free, especially if you are not familiar with server administration and don't want to be bogged down by details.
I have one deployed on Digital Ocean ($5/mo droplet). All you need to do is run the setup script, answer a few yes/no questions (optional features), paste in your API key, and update the firewall setting on Digital Ocean's dashboard.
If anything goes wrong, deploying a new one only takes minutes.

- nikisweeting 7y ago+1 for Algo, it's better than Streissand imo.
- danielneri 7y agoWhat makes it better? I've been using Streisand quite successfully, and the setup appears easier from the little I've read about Algo (haven't implemented myself yet)
- nikisweeting 7y agoPersonally I like Algo because it also handles provisioning a dedicated VPS with some sane system defaults. It also sets up IKEv2 and Wireguard together, which makes it easier to have a multi-platform VPN out of the box without having to set up Wireguard & IPsec separately. It may not be what everyone wants though, Streissand is great in its own ways too.
- cpach 7y agoI honestly had no idea that DigitalOcean has a ”built-in” firewall. That’s awesome. Thank you!
- wuunderbar 7y agoDon't all cloud providers have these for their compute VMs? (e.g,. AWS security groups)
- bradknowles 7y agoSpeaking only for myself, I don't want to run my own firewall server. I want a reliable firewall service that I can use, and is multi-region/multi-az with load balancing and other features that I cannot feasibly implement myself. At least, not without spending a great deal of my time or a great deal of my personal money to build a suitable rugged production-grade service.
- kamalhm 7y agocan vouch for algo, been using it for a while and has no issues at all
- nikon 7y agoThis is good, however I noticed DigitalOcean's IP blocks are banned by a few sites.
- namelosw 7y agoBeen using Algo for years. 11/10 would use again. (I'm Chinese living in China)
