## What it is
A shell script that generates WireGuard VPN configurations for a hub (VPN concentrator) and its peers, including QR codes for mobile clients. It automates key generation, IP assignment, firewall rules, and optional IPv6 support.

## Use cases
- set up a personal wireguard vpn server
- generate wireguard peer configs with qr codes
- create a road warrior vpn hub
- automate wireguard key and config generation
- self-host a vpn concentrator on a vps
- enable ipv6 on wireguard tunnel

## When to choose
- you want a simple, dependency-light script to spin up a WireGuard hub and peers
- you need QR codes for mobile WireGuard clients
- you prefer shell-based tooling over a full VPN management panel

## When to avoid
- you need a web UI or multi-user VPN management dashboard
- you require dynamic peer provisioning or large-scale mesh VPNs
- you are not comfortable running shell scripts with root privileges
