YOP VPN (YourOwnPrivate VPN) is a Drupal module that enables privacy-conscious users to set up and manage their own VPN server using WireGuard directly from their Drupal site. Ideal for users new to VPNs or Drupal, this module provides a simple, automated solution to launch a fast, secure, and cost-effective VPN server—without relying on third-party providers.

Whether you're bypassing geo-restrictions, securing your connection on public Wi-Fi, or building a private developer environment, YOP VPN puts you in control of your traffic and privacy.

Post-Installation

After installing the YOP VPN module:

Navigate to /admin/content, click on Add content -> VPN.
Copy & paste the already created SSH public key to your VPS provider account (this is used to access your VPS).
Create your VPS server with your provider.
Enter your VPS IP address and start the deployment script.
Once provisioning is complete, import the configuration file into your WireGuard client app and/or scan the generated QR code from your mobile device’s WireGuard app.

The module manages the configuration for you and guides you through each step..

Required:

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) with public IP (from Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Linode, etc.)
SSH access via public/private key pair
WireGuard client app installed on your computer or mobile device

Similar projects

There are few Drupal modules providing direct server provisioning. Most VPN-related solutions are either:

Proxy-based web modules
Integration with external APIs

Use of modern VPN protocol (WireGuard)
Native client config generation (including QR)
Cost-effective: $0.01–$0.05 per hour depending on VPS provider
