Algo [1] is a great option for a personal VPN, and it supports WireGuard + ad blocking. I really don't understand why you would want to use k8s for something like this unless it is just a pet project.

I have a hard time understanding why people use these small script bundles on top of wireguard. The VPN use case is the best documented one with a large amount of guides and the configuration is very simple.

Because it sets up everything in your VPS as well.

Getting to the front page? Just Wireguard often will, as will just Kubernetes, but combining the two is a guarantee.

I tried this setup for the first time recently (Algo and a Digital Ocean droplet) when traveling and can confirm it was excellent. In particular, you get a surprisingly polished UX for setting everything up in addition to all the usual benefits of WireGuard.

Can confirm Algo works great. Easy to setup the VPN while still having the benefits of leveraging Wireguard.

Not OP, but maybe it makes sense if you already deploy a set of applications or services on K8s.

great unless you want to use it as a vpn to watch Hulu from abroad haha. They require you to use a set of specific providers, which are all blocked by Hulu.

I ended up using openVPN on a home raspberry pi, but I want to figure out how to deploy IPSec or ZeroTier rather than OpenVPN
