A tool to chain multiple WireGuard VPNs and rotate them dynamically via API
Project description
VPN-Chainer ๐ก๏ธ
A powerful WireGuard VPN chaining tool with dynamic routing, automated service control, and API support.
๐น Overview
VPN-Chainer allows you to chain multiple WireGuard VPNs together, dynamically reordering routes for improved anonymity and security. It includes auto-installation as a system service, API-based VPN rotation, and a customizable pre/post spin-up/down hook system.
Now, you can optionally test VPN speeds and select the fastest VPNs using --fastest.
๐ฆ Available on PyPI - Install easily with pip install vpn-chainer
โก Features
โ
Multi-Hop VPN Chaining โ Connect through multiple WireGuard VPNs in random order.
โ
Speed-Tested VPN Selection โ Use --fastest to pick the top VPNs based on download speed.
โ
Automatic Routing & Firewall Rules โ Seamless packet forwarding between VPN interfaces.
โ
Pre/Post Execution Hooks โ Run custom scripts before and after VPN chain events.
โ
Remote API Support โ Securely rotate VPNs via a web API.
โ
Auto-Installation as a Systemd Service โ Persistently run VPN-Chainer in the background.
๐ Installation
1๏ธโฃ Prerequisites
Ensure you have Python 3 and WireGuard installed:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip wireguard
2๏ธโฃ Install VPN-Chainer from PyPI
Easy installation via pip:
sudo pip install vpn-chainer
๐ Alternative: Install from Source
If you prefer to install from source:
git clone https://github.com/a904guy/VPN-Chainer.git
cd VPN-Chainer
sudo python3 setup.py install
โก Quick Start
After installation, you can immediately start using VPN-Chainer:
# Install the package
sudo pip install vpn-chainer
# Set up your WireGuard configs in /etc/wireguard/
# Then run with 2 VPNs
sudo vpn-chainer 2
# Or use the fastest VPNs
sudo vpn-chainer 3 --fastest
๐ ๏ธ Usage
๐น Basic Usage
sudo vpn-chainer <number_of_vpns>
For example, to create a 3-hop VPN chain:
sudo vpn-chainer 3
๐น Use Speed Testing to Select Fastest VPNs
To test all VPNs first and pick the top N fastest VPNs, use --fastest:
sudo vpn-chainer 3 --fastest
๐ This will:
- Test all available VPNs in
/etc/wireguard/ - Select the top 3 fastest VPNs
- Use them in the VPN chain
๐น Install as a Systemd Service
Automatically install and enable the VPN-Chainer service:
sudo vpn-chainer 3 --auto-install
Once installed, it will start automatically on boot.
To stop or restart the service:
sudo systemctl stop vpn-chainer
sudo systemctl restart vpn-chainer
To view logs:
sudo journalctl -u vpn-chainer -f
๐ API Usage
Rotate VPN Remotely
VPN-Chainer provides an API to trigger VPN rotations. The API key is displayed on startup:
[INFO] VPN-Chainer API running at:
๐ http://127.0.0.1:5000/rotate_vpn?key=6a1f-45e9...
To rotate VPNs:
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:5000/rotate_vpn?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
This will:
- Tear down the current VPN chain.
- Randomly select new VPN configs (or use fastest if started with
--fastest). - Reestablish routing and firewall rules.
โ๏ธ Hook System (Pre/Post Execution Scripts)
VPN-Chainer allows you to run scripts before and after VPN activation/deactivation.
๐น Hook Script Locations
Scripts should be placed in:
/etc/vpn-chainer/hooks/
| Hook Script Name | Triggered When |
|---|---|
| pre-spin-up.sh | Before the VPN chain starts |
| post-spin-up.sh | After the VPN chain is established |
| pre-spin-down.sh | Before VPNs are torn down |
| post-spin-down.sh | After all VPNs have shut down |
๐น Example Hook: Restart Tor After VPN Starts
Edit /etc/vpn-chainer/hooks/post-spin-up.sh:
# !/bin/bash
echo "[HOOK] Restarting Tor for anonymity..."
systemctl restart tor
Then enable the hook:
chmod +x /etc/vpn-chainer/hooks/post-spin-up.sh
๐ Configuration Files
VPN-Chainer automatically selects random WireGuard config files from:
/etc/wireguard/*.conf
Ensure that at least the number of VPN configs requested exists. Additionally the Address line is required.
Example VPN config:
[Interface]
PrivateKey = <YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY>
Address = 10.13.36.109/24
DNS = 10.8.0.1
[Peer]
PublicKey = <PEER_PUBLIC_KEY>
Endpoint = 10.10.10.24:51820
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
PersistentKeepalive = 25
โ Troubleshooting
๐ธ VPN Doesn't Start
- Check that you have WireGuard installed:
which wg
If missing, install it:
sudo apt install wireguard
- Ensure you have enough VPN config files in
/etc/wireguard/.
๐ธ Systemd Service Not Running
- Check status:
sudo systemctl status vpn-chainer
- Restart it:
sudo systemctl restart vpn-chainer
๐ธ API Not Responding
- Ensure VPN-Chainer is running:
sudo systemctl status vpn-chainer
- Check firewall rules (port
5000must be open):
sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp
