Anyone looking for statistics on their blog will find themselves pushed towards the big names in web analytics.

Over the years I’ve switched between running my own VPN endpoint and paying for a subscription with one of the popular providers. I’ve recently settled on a new favourite, WireGuard. I’ve found it to be fast, stable, and unusually tolerant of an unstable network. In this post I’ll take you through how to get set-up with your very own WireGuard VPN.
