> Not a techie? The README is optimized for AI-assisted deployment. Feed it to your LLM of choice (Claude, GPT, etc.) and it can walk you through the entire setup for your specific hardware.

The whole thing is AI slop. I thought there might be something interesting here but it's just a bunch of disconnected fragments of OpenWRT config and some other bits without any overall thought.

It doesn't even use network namespaces. You can probably do better by giving your LLM https://www.wireguard.io/netns/ as input.



It prompts the user's agent to audit their network devices and topology first, and research online if it gets stuck. The configs need to be agnostic and contain placeholders. The whole idea is that the agent helps the user vibe code this, which is very doable, and probably the norm when there are so many people looking for solutions like this given the current climate. And netns is for single-host isolation. This is a router forwarding LAN→WAN. Different problem.

Not at all. Put the LAN interface in a network namespace that is different to the host (ip link set ... netns ...).

This gives you your "kill switch" without even needing firewall rules, it happens on a lower level.


In this setup the "kill switch" works in tandem with the VPN server failover logic. Maybe a netns would be good for redundancy.
