Tailscale
The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA
Tailscale is an open-source zero-configuration VPN and networking solution that makes it simple to create secure, private networks across devices by leveraging WireGuard under the hood. It lets users connect computers, servers, mobile devices, and cloud instances together with peer-to-peer encrypted tunnels without dealing with complex firewalls, NAT rules, or key distribution headaches. Instead of traditional VPN server infrastructure, Tailscale uses a coordination service to authenticate devices and exchange connection information, enabling automatic NAT traversal and minimal manual setup. The project includes a daemon (tailscaled) and a CLI tool that run on major operating systems, and it also forms the basis for the official clients on platforms like iOS and Android, though those have GUI wrappers not fully in this repository. -

Proton VPN Browser Extension
Proton VPN Browser Extension
The Proton VPN Browser Extension repository houses the code for an official browser extension that lets users quickly secure their web browsing traffic through ProtonVPN from within browsers like Firefox and Chrome without routing all system traffic. This extension provides users with a convenient way to encrypt and anonymize HTTP requests, hide IP addresses, and prevent tracking while browsing, acting independently of the full OS-level VPN clients. Because browser extensions are constrained by browser APIs, this extension focuses on securing in-browser connections, protecting privacy specifically within the browser context rather than across the entire operating system. Users can sign in with their Proton accounts, choose from available VPN locations, and connect or disconnect from the toolbar with a single click, making it practical for casual privacy protection or geo-unblocking content without installing native applications. -

Outline Client
Outline clients, developed by Jigsaw
Outline clients, developed by Jigsaw. The Outline clients use the popular Shadowsocks protocol, and lean on the Cordova and Electron frameworks to support Windows, Android / ChromeOS, Linux, iOS and macOS. The Outline Client is a cross-platform VPN or proxy client for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. The Outline Client is designed for use with the Outline Server software, but it is fully compatible with any Shadowsocks server. The client's user interface is implemented in Polymer 2.0. Platform support is provided by Cordova and Electron, with additional native components in this repository. Outline clients share the same web app across all platforms. This code is located in the src/www directory. If you are making changes to the shared web app and do not need to test platform-specific functionality, you can test in a desktop browser. It provides the "missing Unix pieces" required by build system such as rsync (and many others). -

OpenFortiVPN
Client for PPP+TLS VPN tunnel services
openfortivpn is a command-line SSL VPN client for connecting to Fortinet FortiGate gateways without relying on proprietary GUIs. It negotiates the SSL/TLS tunnel, authenticates with credentials (and commonly with two-factor methods), then brings up a secure point-to-point interface and installs routes and DNS settings. The tool aims to be minimal and dependable: a single binary with an INI-style config file, systemd compatibility, and clear runtime diagnostics. It handles details like MTU tuning, split tunneling via pushed routes, and reconnect logic to keep the session stable. Because it works with the standard tun interface, it integrates smoothly with common Linux networking stacks and pairs well with desktop frontends such as NetworkManager plugins. For admins and developers, it’s a scriptable, cross-platform-friendly alternative that makes FortiGate access reliable on servers and developer workstations alike. -

Algo VPN
Set of Ansible scripts that simplifies the setup of a personal VPN
Introducing Algo, a self-hosted personal VPN server designed for ease of deployment and security. Algo automatically deploys an on-demand VPN service in the cloud that is not shared with other users, relies on only modern protocols and ciphers, and includes only the minimal software you need. And it’s free. For anyone who is privacy conscious, travels for work frequently, or can’t afford a dedicated IT department, this one’s for you. Really, the paid-for services are just commercial honeypots. If an attacker can compromise a VPN provider, they can monitor a whole lot of sensitive data. Paid-for VPNs tend to be insecure: they share keys, their weak cryptography gives a false sense of security, and they require you to trust their operators. Even if you’re not doing anything wrong, you could be sharing the same endpoint with someone who is. In that case, your network traffic will be analyzed when law enforcement makes that seizure. -

V2Ray Core
A platform for building proxies to bypass network restrictions
V2Ray is the core of the Project V platform—a set of network tools for building custom proxy/VPN setups. It supports multiple protocols (VMess, SOCKS, Shadowsocks, HTTP, etc.), advanced routing, dynamic inbound/outbound connections, and is focused on privacy and bypassing censorship. -

cunicu
A zeroconf peer-to-peer mesh VPN using Wireguard
cunīcu is a user-space daemon managing WireGuard interfaces to establish a mesh of peer-to-peer VPN connections in harsh network environments. To achieve this, cunīcu utilizes a signaling layer to exchange peer information such as public encryption keys, hostname, advertised networks, and reachability information to automate the configuration of the networking links. From a user perspective, cunīcu alleviates the need of manual configuration such as exchange of public keys, IP addresses, endpoints, etc.. Hence, it adopts the design goals of the WireGuard project, to be simple and easy to use. Thanks to Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE), cunīcu is capable of establishing direct connections between peers that are located behind NAT firewalls such as home routers. In situations where ICE fails, or direct UDP connectivity is not available, cunīcu falls back to using TURN relays to reroute traffic over an intermediate hop or encapsulate the WireGuard traffic via TURN-TCP. -

Go Implementation of WireGuard
This is an implementation of WireGuard in Go
Go Implementation of WireGuard is the official userspace implementation of the WireGuard VPN protocol written in Go, providing a portable alternative to kernel-level deployments. The project enables systems that cannot run the native kernel module to still create secure WireGuard tunnels by operating entirely in user space. When executed, the program creates a virtual network interface that can be configured using standard networking tools such as wg and ip, closely mirroring the behavior of kernel implementations. The software is part of the broader WireGuard ecosystem, which aims to deliver a fast, simple, and modern VPN built on state-of-the-art cryptography. Because it runs in user space, wireguard-go is especially useful for platforms like macOS, Windows, or restricted environments where kernel modules are unavailable. -
