A tool to chain multiple WireGuard VPNs and rotate them dynamically via API

Project description

VPN-Chainer ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

A powerful WireGuard VPN chaining tool with dynamic routing, automated service control, and API support.

VPN-Chainer WireGuard Python PyPI

๐Ÿ”น 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.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Available on PyPI - Install easily with pip install vpn-chainer


โšก Features

โœ… Multi-Hop VPN Chaining โ€“ Connect through multiple WireGuard VPNs in random order.
โœ… Speed-Tested VPN Selection โ€“ Use --fastest to pick the top VPNs based on download speed.
โœ… Automatic Routing & Firewall Rules โ€“ Seamless packet forwarding between VPN interfaces.
โœ… Pre/Post Execution Hooks โ€“ Run custom scripts before and after VPN chain events.
โœ… Remote API Support โ€“ Securely rotate VPNs via a web API.
โœ… Auto-Installation as a Systemd Service โ€“ Persistently run VPN-Chainer in the background.


๐Ÿš€ Installation

1๏ธโƒฃ Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python 3 and WireGuard installed:

sudo apt update  
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip wireguard  

2๏ธโƒฃ Install VPN-Chainer from PyPI

Easy installation via pip:

sudo pip install vpn-chainer

๐Ÿ”„ 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

โšก 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

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Usage

๐Ÿ”น Basic Usage

sudo vpn-chainer <number_of_vpns>  

For example, to create a 3-hop VPN chain:

sudo vpn-chainer 3  

๐Ÿ”น 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  

๐Ÿš€ This will:

  • Test all available VPNs in /etc/wireguard/
  • Select the top 3 fastest VPNs
  • Use them in the VPN chain

๐Ÿ”น 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  

๐Ÿ”— 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:  
๐Ÿ”— 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.

โš™๏ธ Hook System (Pre/Post Execution Scripts)

VPN-Chainer allows you to run scripts before and after VPN activation/deactivation.

๐Ÿ”น 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

๐Ÿ”น 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  

๐Ÿ“‚ 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

๐Ÿ”ธ 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/.

๐Ÿ”ธ Systemd Service Not Running

  • Check status:
sudo systemctl status vpn-chainer  
  • Restart it:
sudo systemctl restart vpn-chainer  

๐Ÿ”ธ API Not Responding

  • Ensure VPN-Chainer is running:
sudo systemctl status vpn-chainer  
  • Check firewall rules (port 5000 must be open):
sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp
