3 years ago I installed Project Streisand [0] on one of my Digitaocean droplets which configured automatically different VPN protocols and my favorite one has been Wireguard. To this day I still use it on all my devices and it's only last month that I was made aware that the project has been discontinued (Why??). But my Wireguard VPN is still kicking. Works like a charm. On all devices. I can use restricted apps in Africa where my bank app and Disney plus/HBO do not works...

It looks like the main contributor is (or was very recently) a Signal developer [1], but they have not committed to Streisand since 2018 [2].

FWIW, Algo[1] does the same thing as Streisand but with fewer features and knobs (which, in a VPN server, is a feature in its own right).

Absolutely. I will migrate to it ASAP since my Streisand is mired in 16.04. good job guys from Algo.
