WireGuird provides a familiar Windows-like interface for Linux users, making WireGuard VPN management accessible and straightforward.
WireGuird looks and functions similarly to the official WireGuard Windows GUI client, providing a consistent experience across platforms.

​
How It Works

WireGuird acts as a graphical frontend for the standard WireGuard tools you already trust:
  • Lists tunnel configurations from /etc/wireguard
  • Controls connections through wg-quick commands
  • Displays real-time statistics using the wgctrl library
  • Integrates seamlessly with your system tray for quick access
WireGuird requires wireguard-tools to be installed on your system. The application uses standard WireGuard commands and follows Linux security best practices.
