Wireguard from Scratch
This course is for anyone interested in creating their own private networks using Wireguard. In just a few short modules, we’ll dive into the essentials of the Wireguard technology: how it works, why it matters, and how to deploy it correctly. We’ll also demonstrate multiple deployment strategies, from a fully manual network, all the way to a managed mesh ready to use for secure community-building.
