Built on Linguard, Improved by Real-World Use

ARPVPN was originally forked from Linguard, an open-source WireGuard web GUI. After using Linguard in production for over five years, ARPHost identified opportunities to expand and improve the platform for real-world deployments.

ARPVPN keeps the simplicity of Linguard while adding the features required for modern hosting environments, managed services, and business infrastructure.


What is ARPVPN?

ARPVPN is a self-hosted WireGuard VPN management platform that allows you to:

  • Manage VPN interfaces
  • Control client and site-to-site peers
  • Monitor traffic and activity
  • Automate deployments via API

All from a clean, centralized web interface.


Key Features

  • Create, edit, start, stop, and restart WireGuard interfaces
  • Manage client peers and site-to-site connections
  • Support for remote subnets and full-tunnel configurations
  • Role-based access (admin, support, tenant admin, client)
  • Multi-tenant support with invitations and memberships
  • TOTP MFA and recovery codes
  • API token support with full lifecycle management
  • Built-in security protections (CSRF, rate limiting, lockouts)
  • Traffic graphs, statistics, and monitoring tools
  • Export data in CSV and JSON formats
  • Versioned API under /api/v1
  • Docker and systemd deployment options

What Makes ARPVPN Different?

Linguard provided a strong base, but ARPVPN expands it into a full platform.

ARPVPN Improvements:

  • Better UI and workflow improvements
  • Advanced security features (MFA, API tokens)
  • Multi-tenant support for providers
  • Automation-ready architecture
  • Improved monitoring and diagnostics

This is not just a fork — it’s a refined system built from real usage.

  • Hosting providers
  • Managed service providers (MSPs)

  • Businesses needing secure remote access
