WireGuard Easy - Go Port

A lightweight Go implementation of WireGuard VPN management with web UI, designed to work behind nginx in subdirectories.

This is a minimal port of wg-easy focusing on core functionality with the crucial addition of proper reverse proxy subdir support.

Why This Port?

The original wg-easy doesn't work properly when hosted behind nginx in a subdirectory (e.g., http://server.com/wgeasy). This Go port fixes that issue while providing:

• ✅ Subdir Support - Works perfectly at any path (/wgeasy, /vpn, etc.)
• ✅ Lightweight - Single 12MB binary vs 500MB+ Node.js installation
• ✅ Fast - Instant startup, low memory usage (~10-20MB)
• ✅ Simple - Easy to deploy, modify, and understand

Features

• 🔐 Admin authentication with session management
• 👥 Create/delete WireGuard clients
• 🌐 IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack support
• 📱 Download client configuration files
• 🎨 Simple, functional HTML interface
• 🔄 Nginx reverse proxy support (subdir or root)
• 🐳 Docker support

Requirements

• Go 1.21+
• WireGuard installed (wg and wg-quick commands)
• Root/sudo access for WireGuard management

Configuration

Create config.json:

{
  "admin_password": "your-secure-password",
  "base_path": "/wgeasy",
  "listen_addr": ":8080",
  "wg_interface": "wg0",
  "wg_address_v4": "10.8.0.1/24",
  "wg_address_v6": "fd00::1/64",
  "wg_port": 51820,
  "wg_endpoint": "your-server.com:51820"
}

Usage

# Build
go build -o wg-easy-go

# Run (requires root for WireGuard management)
sudo ./wg-easy-go

# Access at http://localhost:8080/wgeasy

Nginx Configuration

location /wgeasy/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/wgeasy/;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
