Silent Drop: Wireguard Ansible Role From The Silent Architect

If you read this, you already know what a VPN is.

OpenVPN was once the standard.
IPSec handled the corporate network jungle.

Complexity is a danger. A liability.

This is where Wireguard strikes.

Wireguard - The Silent Guardian

It's not a huge app.
WireGuard lives in the Linux kernel. Other systems run it in user space - same protocol, same silence.

Simple configuration.
Modern cryptography.
Light footprint.
Auditable code size.

Wireguard is like The Silent Architect - no fluff, no over-complication.

Ansible - The Moving Hands Of Precision

Ansible is trusted.
Simple.

It already proved its capabilities.
It has its place in the GhostWare.

The Wireguard Ansible Role - A Silent Drop From DeadSwitch

OpenVPN and the OpenVPN Ansible Role has been field tested for long - now retired.

DeadSwitch adapts:

Wireguard hums silently on the Ghost Infra.
Ansible and the new role handles its deployment.

Privacy and digital freedom is for everyone - so the new role is open-source:

DeadSwitch Wireguard Role on GitHub

Audit.
Use.
Share.
Criticize.

It's simple.
Idempotent.
Safe by design.

It handles the peers' configuration.

Stay silent.
Stay private.
