## What it is
An unofficial, comprehensive documentation and API reference for WireGuard, the open-source VPN, covering setup, configuration, usage, and full example setups. It includes guides for VPN servers and roaming clients, with an HTML version hosted at docs.sweeting.me.

## Use cases
- set up a WireGuard VPN server
- configure WireGuard for roaming clients
- learn WireGuard configuration syntax and keys
- find full example WireGuard setups
- compare WireGuard with OpenVPN and IPSec

- you are setting up a VPN with both servers and roaming clients
- you want practical config examples for wg and wg-quick

## When to avoid
- you need official, canonical documentation or support
- you are looking for VPN software itself rather than documentation
- you need a GUI or automated VPN management tool
