amneziawg-installer: one-command VPN server that works where WireGuard gets blocked (github.com)

WireGuard is blocked by DPI in 10+ countries now. AmneziaWG 2.0 is a fork that makes the traffic look like random noise - DPI can't tell it apart from normal UDP. Same crypto under the hood, negligible speed overhead.

I wrote an installer that handles the whole setup in one command on a clean Ubuntu/Debian VPS - kernel module, firewall, hardening, client configs with QR codes. Pure bash, no dependencies, runs on any $3/month box. MIT license.

Been running it from Russia where stock WireGuard stopped working mid-2025.

Alternatively, you can download Amnezia VPN client app on your phone or PC, and it has this amazing function where you provide the IP and root credentials, and it installs server software automatically.

Obviously, only use it when you don't have other things running on your server.

Advantages:

No need to install anything manually, just direct Amnezia VPN client to a blank Linux server or VPS
You can install all sorts of protocols in this manner, not only AmneziaWG. Options include OpenVPN (basic and over Shadowsocks/Cloak), classic Wireguard, IPsec, Xray.

Disadvantages:

It doesn't show the SSH terminal as it goes installing things on your server and goes fully automatic, reducing user control and troubleshooting capabilities.

Fair call - the client-driven install is a legit option if you want a GUI. The script is the other angle: read it before running, watch it work over SSH, no background magic. Same protocol, different workflow.

Also thanks for the "it works from Russia" confirmation further up - means more than any testing I could run myself.
