Show HN: Auto-VPN – Deploy temporary WireGuard servers with automatic cleanup

[g1ibby]

Auto-VPN is a self-hosted tool that lets you deploy personal WireGuard VPN servers on-demand and automatically removes them when they're not in use. I built it to avoid paying for VPN subscriptions and to make temporary secure connections easier to manage.

*Key features:* - One-click WireGuard server deployment on Vultr/Linode - Automatic server cleanup when inactive (configurable: 30min/1h/2h/4h or custom) - Simple web UI for server management - Downloads WireGuard configs directly

The cleanup feature monitors WireGuard connections - if no peers are connected for your set period, the server is automatically destroyed to save costs. You can adjust this timeout in the UI.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Hi there. I think the container image is private at the moment. Trying to pull ghcr.io/g1ibby/auto-vpn is failing. Render.com says: No public image found. It looks like you may be using a private image. Thx!

Thanks for catching that! I've fixed the issue the container image is now public and accessible. You should be able to pull ghcr.io/g1ibby/auto-vpn without any problems. Let me know if you run into anything else or have more feedback!
