I'm afraid this will be unhelpful to Callan as I'm no longer a current student
or located in Western Australia, but it reminds me that it would be cool if UCC
made WireGuard available as an alternative to the older VPN software documented
on the wiki, which I found to be painful to configure when I tried at various
times between 2007 and 2013.

I've recently set up a few small scale VPNs using WireGuard and it's been very
educational for me. Creating a script that allows users to add new WireGuard
interfaces or peers without needing root access seems like a good UCC project
and service, but since I lost root access in the recent wheel purge, I've been
experimenting on my own hardware instead.

Kind regards,

Scott Young [SJY]
