About

Why a VPN, what this one is, and what it isn't.

What this is

A small WireGuard server, hand-run by one person, intended for friends and family. You connect a phone or laptop, and your traffic exits the public internet from this address instead of from your local cafe wifi or hotel ISP. Sites you visit see this server's IP, not yours. DNS lookups go through this server too.

What this isn't

What it's good for

The architecture, in two lines

WireGuard server runs on a desktop on a residential symmetric fiber link. Peers connect inbound to vpn.domainless.fun:51820; outbound traffic is masqueraded out via the desktop's public IP. The same hostname's secondary record points at a BuyVM Las Vegas VPS for capacity / failover; whether that secondary is active depends on how recently the operator has set it up.

Open-source you can audit yourself

WireGuard kernel module: wireguard.com. Server config templates and the small Express service that powers this status page are part of the J&G Studios codebase.
