Another multi-hop would be the open source tinc-vpn [1] software. It performs dynamic mesh routing in user space. The trade-off is that you and/or your friends would need to run each hop. Some hacker groups did this in the past but they would grow their circle of trust too big and didn't last. It worked great for me for decades and routed around numerous internet outages. It's not as performant as Wireguard but I see no reason the lead developer could not integrate it into wg for the tun device. [1] - https://www.tinc-vpn.org/ https://www.tinc-vpn.org/
