PiVPN: Simplest way to setup a VPN
Source: pivpn.io
PiVPN is a collection of shell scripts designed to simplify the setup of a secure VPN server using OpenVPN or WireGuard protocols. It enables users to turn a Raspberry Pi or any Ubuntu/Debian server into a cost-effective VPN with a one-command installer and an intuitive 'pivpn' command for ongoing management, featuring hardened security settings by default.
