## Description

wireguard-install is an automated setup tool and guided shell script for deploying and configuring WireGuard VPN servers on various Linux distributions. It functions as a Linux VPN server automator that handles the installation of network tunnel software and the establishment of security configurations on host systems.

The project includes a command line interface for managing client access, allowing for the addition and removal of authorized VPN users and the generation of client configurations. It also provides a utility to uninstall the network tunnel and remove all associated system configurations to clean the host environment.

The tool employs an interactive wizard to gather deployment parameters and automate the generation of cryptographic key-pairs and system configuration files. It maps software requirements to specific package managers based on the detected Linux distribution and executes post-install hooks to ensure network interface persistence across reboots.
