What is wg-easy?

wg-easy wraps WireGuard in a small web panel where you create clients, see who is connected and download configs or QR codes, instead of editing peer files by hand on the server. It brings the whole setup down to a single container, which is why it is often the first VPN people get running at home. Traffic itself is handled by WireGuard in the kernel, so performance is not sacrificed for the convenience.
