How to setup Wireguard VPN on VPS?
While searching for setting up Wireguard VPN on a VPS, I came across these 3 scripts below.
https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install
https://github.com/notthebee/ansible-easy-vpn
https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install
So what are the differences, pros/cons between these 3 scripts?
Also, there may be other scripts or methods available too. If you have used them, please share your experience.

I have been using Nyr’s script and it works great even on servers with extremely low resources.
Nyr's script is a Swiss army knife, Works great. I don't know bout other two.
I failed a few times to manually install it and then switched to @Nyr's script. Worked every time without issue on any VPS type (NAT / ipv4 etc)
Initially tried @angristan script on my 128mb ovz gullo NAT vps, it failed with message "Wireguard does not support openvz", switched to @Nyr scripts and it works well. Kudos to @Nyr !
Personally done some modifications to Nyr’s script to use different DNS servers - it works perfectly
Can’t we just choose a different dns while setting it up or set new one by modifying the .conf file ?
Nyr’s script works fine.
I just set it up manually. Once you've done it a couple of times, it's easy enough.
Here's a decent tutorial

Anyone know how to install history log for user wireguard ?
Mentally strong people setup VPN manually after reading manpages and design documents.

Is it possible to install wireguard on IPv6 only VPS? will it work as a normal VPN?
