Show HN: SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime

https://smokevpn.com
3•lobito25•1h ago
I have started developing a prototype of a WireGuard VPN hub, where I could set a custom exit to a specific device, for example, my TV box would use a VPN in Germany, while my desktop a VPN is Serbia and I could switch the exit in realtime without having to stop the VPN connections and consequently no disconnections (ssh, etc).

The project grew, and I ended up adding SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy, Tor exits, exit pools, random exits, timed exits, and exits/routes based on domains or IP addresses. I also added an in-house DNS with several default block lists (malware, gambling, social media, etc.)

I found this project to have potential and decided to commercialize it, Smoke VPN was born.

The logs live entirely on the RAM, and I plan to open-source the full stack as soon as I get feedback from real users, people like you...

Can you please try the project for free for 7 days or 50 GB (whichever comes first)?

You don't need an account, email or password and you can add up to 10 devices.

Real feedback is truly welcome!

I didn't mention on the original post, but the server currently has 84 exit servers in 45 countries.

Some questions:

> Your 16-digit account number is your login - anyone who has it can use your account, and it cannot be recovered if you lose it.

Can you explain the intent here? 16 digits seems to be nowhere near the threshold that's viable for any user authentication in 2026, especially given "Your own devices on one account can still talk to each other, like a small private LAN.".

> Acceptable use. We're logless and don't monitor what you do - but illegal or abusive use is not allowed and puts the whole shared service at risk. No spam, and zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material.

If you're not logging, how are you enforcing this? And relatedly, are you "logless" or do "traffic logs live in memory only and are scrubbed"?

> I plan to open-source the full stack as soon as I get feedback from real users, people like you

Why wait?
