VPN Server with Web Admin Panel on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by ProvenCloud

VPN server on Azure, ready in minutes.

This image is your own VPN server using the fast, modern WireGuard protocol, with the wg-easy web admin panel. Create a user in the browser and it gives you a QR code for the phone app and a config file for laptops. Your traffic leaves the internet from your Azure VM's address, and nobody else holds the keys.

Why teams choose this image

• Simple to manage: add, pause and remove VPN users from a web page, with no command line needed.
• Fast and modern: the WireGuard protocol is quick to connect and light on battery, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
• Tested with a real client: a tunnel is connected and its traffic checked before the image is released.
• Your own keys: every VM creates its own server keys, admin password and HTTPS certificate on first boot.

What is included

• WireGuard-protocol VPN on UDP port 51820
• wg-easy 15.5.0 web admin panel behind nginx with HTTPS
• Webmin 2.670 for server administration
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched

Getting started

Open https://<vm-public-ip>/ and sign in as admin. The password is your VM ID (Azure portal > the virtual machine > Properties > VM ID, for example 02aab8a4-74ef-476e-8182-f6d2ba4166a6). Add a client, then scan its QR code with the WireGuard app or download its config file. Webmin (port 8000, user admin) uses the same password.

Ports opened for you: SSH 22 and 80, 443, UDP 51820 and 8000. For production, limit admin ports to your own IP address. Step-by-step guide: provencloud.io/catalog/azure-vpn-server-web-admin-ubuntu-24-04

Remote teams, small businesses, travellers and developers who want a private VPN with a fixed exit IP address in the Azure region of their choice.

Pricing
