Cloudflare works really well and has a good UI. Namecheap also works well, but it takes more clicks to adjust DNS records.

Sure, it's possible. I could do it by hand, but the more clients you want to add, the more cumbersome the process. What I'd like is a tool to automate what is mostly a templating process.

 

Is there an open-source tool to bulk-generate wireguard configurations without managing the wireguard installation itself?

I have an existing server set up with a special wireguard configuration that I created manually. I want to add a standard VPN server configuration to that machine without affecting the existing configuration. I've used tools for this in the past, but they all work on the premise that wireguard isn't already installed and that only said tool is used to managed the installation. I'm worried this might break my existing config, so what I want is something to automate generating keys and writing configuration files, without interacting with the existing wireguard installation. Does this exist?

Thank you for sharing this story. I've recently watched this video on MLMs and it describes exactly the kind of situations your mom found herself in. I thought these MLM schemes were bad before, but I had no idea just how horrible they actually are...

Just keep in mind that sd cards can also stop working. I would encourage you to keep at least two separate copies, ideally one on a different medium than an SD card, and check regularly that you can still access the codes. A backup is only as useful as it is easy to restore.

The author does a pretty good job of explaining the potential problems this technology could cause. Scroll down to Why Attestation Is Bad.

I don't like it because it has become very iPhone-like in the bad ways, meaning it takes several clicks to do simple, common tasks. I much prefer Samsung's OneUI for how easily accessible everything is.

F-Droid is great! The official client is not the most user-friendly, but Droidify is a great alternative.

You can also look at Obtanium to download binaries straight from the applications' developers instead of those built by F-Droid.
