UpVPN brings Serverless VPN to Raspberry Pi and ARM64 devices.
A WireGuard® VPN server is provisioned on-demand when user request to connect to VPN, and same server is deprovisioned when user requests to disconnect. Saving customers time and money!
I love Raspberry Pi, today I couldn't be more exicited to bring Serverless VPN app for Raspberry Pi 4 and ARM64 devices.
It opens up world of opportunity to interface physical world via GPIO with Serverless VPN via upvpn cli!
@sentry_co the end result that you get a tunnel to a geographic location is same.
The major difference is how Serverless VPN benefits the customer than regular VPN:
1. Cost savings: Unlike regular VPN we don't need to run expensive servers at all times. We can provision them on demand when customer connects to VPN and deprovision them when customer disconnects from VPN. This make efficient utilzation of compute resources, and so customer only pays for what they use.
2. Time savings: For customers who run their on VPN servers on public cloud provider, UpVPN is like a managed service to get VPN server by just single click or single command, in just few seconds, available in 20 locations.
@sentry_co yes, we do optimizations to have "warm" capacity so that customers dont see high latency if we provisioned a server from scratch in real time. So on average customers would have server ready in few seconds.

Congrats on the launch, Team UpVPN! Kudos for revolutionizing the VPN space with a serverless solution for Raspberry Pi and ARM64 devices - indeed a game-changer! An idea for your roadmap could be to integrate a multi-factor authentication feature for bolstering security further. More power to you guys!
