In that post, I focused on the use of Linux on both the server side (on an EC2 instance in your AWS VPC) as well as on the client side (using the GNOME Network Manager interface). In this case, you need to use the WireGuard app to create the tunnels, which will show up as connections (interfaces) in the Network pane of System Preferences.

We’ve migrated to a userid-password society; as we’ve added layers of security, we password-protect each layer: PC (and now device), network, enclave, application, database, and storage (encryption). Over time, our use of devices and network resources will form a pattern; no two people should have the same behavioral patterns.
