Wiretap

Wiretap is a transparent, VPN-like proxy server that tunnels traffic through WireGuard. It is designed to proxy traffic without requiring special privileges to run, which makes it different from many traditional VPN tools that depend on privileged network interface setup. The project focuses on transparent routing, allowing client traffic to move through WireGuard-based paths toward the intended destination. Its documentation describes an end-to-end encryption model where packets are forwarded through Wiretap nodes until they reach the intended server, which then sends traffic to the real network destination. Wiretap is useful for research, security labs, and controlled environments where users want WireGuard-style tunneling with proxy-like behavior. It is best understood as a specialized networking tool rather than a general consumer VPN client.
