This TurnKey Linux VPN software appliance leverages the open source WireGuard® software (installed from Debian repositories). It also includes custom TurnKey configuration tools to support ease of setup. It can link 2 otherwise unconnected LANs and/or secure traffic across public and/or insecure wifi connections and/or provide a secure solution for remote work scenarios.
This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:
- WireGuard® configurations:
- Initialization hooks to configure common WireGuard® deployments, server key and confgiuration.
- Deployments include convenience scripts to add clients/profiles, generating all required config.
- Expiring obfuscated HTTPS urls can be created for clients to download their profiles (especially useful with mobile devices using a QR code scanner).
See the Set up documentation for further details on how to set it up.
