curious to hear does anyone know what the mentioned alternatives are? a super simple to use wireguard control plane is super valuable and PiVPN seemed to fit that gap perfectly unfortunate that it's come to an end but it's nice to hear the maintainer moving on in such a positive way :)

wg-easy is probably the easiest to use simple alternative I can think of.

After meaning for years to spend the 2-3 hours I’d need to set up wire guard and get all my devices on it that I’d want on it (it’s a bit fiddly and time consuming, and inevitably with projects like that, there’s some dumb problem that comes up that wastes a bunch of time) I just did the free tier of Tailscale. Server, two Apple TVs, a couple phones, a tablet, and a laptop all on it in like 15 minutes flat. With one of the Apple TVs configured to act as a gateway, too. Should’ve just done that to begin with.

  2-3hours? Just try wg-easy, it should not take more than 10minutes.

You set the number of peers and it generates that number of folders with certificates and QR codes for you.
