WireGuard is extremely easy to setup. It's difficult to manage if you have hundreds of nodes or dynamic endpoints: that's what Tailscale and Netmaker helps with.

OpenBSD's wg documentation is straightforward. It maps onto wireguard-tools' configuration concepts if you need to use Linux.

1. https://man.openbsd.org/wg.4

2. https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8#WIREGUARD

3. https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/about/src/man/wg.8

With OpenBSD you will typically end up with a hostname.wgN config that looks like this:

  inet6 fd00:abcd:efgh:ijkl::1/48
  wgkey <base64-private-key>
  wgport 51820
  wgpeer <base64-peer-pubkey> \
    wgpsk <base64-secret> # optional \
    wgaip fd00:abcd:efgh:mnop::1/64 \
    wgendpoint x.x.y.y 51820
  up
