Idea

A terminal UI that unifies WireGuard and OpenVPN management in one interface, showing connection status, throughput, latency, and leak detection in real-time. Developers and privacy-conscious users who work in terminals need a single tool to manage multiple VPN profiles without context-switching.

Why this is interesting

Terminal tooling has seen genuine renewed interest as developer workflows shift back toward CLI-first environments, with tools like Warp and the broader TUI renaissance (driven partly by libraries like Bubble Tea and Ratatui) giving this space more legitimacy than it had five years ago. The closest substitute is `wg-quick` combined with NetworkManager or vendor GUIs, none of which unify WireGuard and OpenVPN cleanly in one place — no clear incumbent owns this exact niche. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is plausible only as a one-time or low-priced indie product, since developers who live in terminals skew heavily toward free/open-source tools and will fork or build alternatives before paying a subscription. The biggest risk is that the core audience — privacy-focused developers — are precisely the people most likely to just read the WireGuard man page and wire something up themselves, keeping the paying market frustratingly thin.
