Is there a oneliner for setting it up on a ubuntu box akin to https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install ? How does it work with iphone, android, windows? Can a regular person set up a client by receiving a single profile file?

Idk about wg, but ovpn ticks all these boxes.

There is this by the same author: https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install

Mobile users simply scan a QR code and are good to go.

Thank you very much, I’ll try it soon!

My relative has an android device that can’t run ovpn but may work with this.

Wireguard works on Windows, iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux. It is supported on multiple routers. And it can be configured with a single file, which on mobile devices can be imported as a QR code. And the "server" side is set up the same way as client side - with a single config file per tunnel. Wireguard is popular because it is simple to configure.

And then there are many different solutions built on top of Wireguard, like Tailscale, which simplify some other aspects of setting up tunnels.
