With internet censorship and surveillance on the rise, ie; UK Online Safety Bill (July 2025) and Australia's social media legislation (Dec 2025) introducing mandatory age verification (read: initial step on the pathway to social credit), I wanted a privacy-first solution that protects browsing history from ISPs and third-party verification services, but not one that requires you to be an Einstein to deploy.

This stack turns a Raspberry Pi (or any OpenWrt-compatible device) into a network-wide VPN gateway.

Key features: - Hardware kill switch: VPN down = no internet (not a software rule that can leak) - AmneziaWG obfuscation for DPI-resistant connections - Optional AdGuard Home for DNS filtering - Works for all devices including smart TVs and IoT that can't run VPN apps

Not a techie? The README is optimized for AI-assisted deployment. Feed it to your LLM of choice (Claude, GPT, etc.) and it can walk you through the entire setup for your specific hardware.

Mullvad-focused but works with any WireGuard provider. MIT license.

Docker deploy in testing (coming soon)
