I don't want to be a hater, but exposing access to your homelab through a "fully vibe coded" application (it's mentioned at the bottom of the README) is probably not a good idea.

The idea itself sounds fun though

I guess I have to implement the habit of checking such things, since I never assume such a possibility. I prefer this info to be at the top of the readme, though – much more information value than the logo that deceived me into thinking this is a mature project.

Regardless; what benefits this would have over Wireguard?

Github should have a tag about it on projects

Perhaps not requiring a wireguard client installed on the machine you are accessing from. There are several circumstances where installing a VPN client isn't possible or practical
