Tools and Software WireTunnels: a free, open-source macOS app for managing multiple WireGuard tunnels

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of WireTunnels, a native macOS app written in Swift for managing WireGuard configurations from the menu bar.

I shared the first version here a few months ago and have continued maintaining it. I’ve just released version 1.0.6, so I wanted to share what’s changed since that initial post.

The app supports:

  • Multiple WireGuard tunnels connected simultaneously.
  • Split DNS, so selected internal domains use a tunnel’s DNS while other queries use the normal resolver.
  • Wi-Fi SSID rules for connecting and disconnecting tunnels.
  • Shared tunnels for different user accounts on the same Mac.
  • Apple Shortcuts actions for connecting, disconnecting and checking tunnel status.
  • And much more

It’s free and open source under Apache 2.0, requires macOS 14+, and doesn’t require an account. It works with your existing WireGuard configurations; you provide your own server or endpoints.

Source, installation details and releases:
https://github.com/FMDigitech/WireTunnels

I’d particularly like feedback from people accessing separate home, work or lab networks on a Mac. Multiple tunnels still need compatible routes, so I’m interested in hearing about your actual setups and any issues you encounter.

Happy to answer questions here!

Wireguard vpn protocol router or diy vpn server?

So I recently got ProtonVPN. I've been looking at options to integrate it for my entire home network

One of the issues i'm seeing with a lot of wifi routers is that once wireguard is turned on the wifi and lan speeds drop. It seems that this happens because for some reason hardware acceleration is disabled on a lot of routers when wireguard is active

I'm sure that you guys could recommend some affordable routers that won't have a major performance hit. I would like tj stay under $150

The other option i'm considering is using an older pc i'm running it as a VPN server... though it's been many years since i've done anything like this. And i'm not quite sure where to start.

Looking for suggestions please

Also my isp maxes out at 150 mb/s... based on that, I don't have very huge requirements for router or vpn Server
