Vick's Hangout

I’m currently working on a project to provide secure connectivity from multiple locations to a centralized server in an organization’s headquarters. I contemplated using several firewall solutions, or building one using Debian. After building some containers on Alpine, I figured why not just use Alpine itself as the gateway with WireGuard. The setup was done on a QEMU Virtual Machine on Ubuntu 24.04. I’ll then move the VM to the devices on each premises to have an always-on, auto-connected virtual tunnel that is secure. This lightweight setup allows me to spin up a gateway that does what I need quickly and efficiently with minimal hassle.
