Need a reliable, private VPN? Especially useful when traveling or in regions where services like GitHub are restricted (looking at you, Syria 🇸🇾).

I created a straightforward Terraform script that deploys a secure WireGuard VPN server on AWS in minutes. Here’s the gist:

Why WireGuard + Terraform?

• WireGuard is modern, fast, and super simple compared to OpenVPN
• Terraform makes it fully reproducible and easy to manage
• Runs on a tiny t3.nano EC2 instance → costs ~$4/month or less

Key Features

• Secure WireGuard setup with automatic key generation
• Clean web UI (via a simple dashboard) to manage connected devices
• Easy configuration – just tweak variables and terraform apply
• SSH access locked down, firewall rules tightened

How to Get Started

1. Clone the repo: https://github.com/mohammedbabelly/terraform-wireguard (my personal fork/setup)
2. Set your AWS credentials and preferred region
3. Run terraform init && terraform apply
4. Grab the generated config file → import into WireGuard client (mobile/desktop)
5. Connect and enjoy secure, private internet!

I’ve been using this setup regularly — it’s reliable, cheap, and gives full control.

If you’re into DevOps, homelabbing, or just need a personal VPN, give it a try. Contributions/PRs welcome!
