    Yeah, the weight floor can be hit or miss with regards to striking convos with strangers. Many of the people there want to make friends too, but many just want to focus on their wo…

    I remember yanking out the onstar unit in my 2015 silverado to physically disconnect the cell antenna. This was (is?) the only practical way to disable cellular in that vehicle. Ku…

    At Firezone we started with soft-deletes thinking it might be useful for an audit / compliance log and quickly ran into each of the problems described in this article. The real iss…

    I don't fully understand the complaints about enshittification of open source permissively licensed software. If the source code is available for you to fork, modify, and maintain …

    Yes, the established standard here is known collectively as Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) [1] which WebRTC relies on -- there are a few good libraries out there that…

    PRs welcome! We may not have much bandwidth to help, but happy to review anything that comes along. We can discuss further perhaps on a GitHub issue so the rest of the Firezone tea…

    I've exposed `Android` as a support OS. Give it a shot now.

    Noted! I'll update it to use the Unix instructions in that case. Thanks for the feedback!

    Unfortunately the app wasn't designed to intake test results from runs that didn't originate from itself. We wanted to make it harder to submit fake results, and didn't want to add…

    Show HN: Test your WireGuard connectivity and see global stats, no client needed

    Hi HN, Some misbehaving networks drop WireGuard packets either by accident or on purpose. Commonly the latter is done with simple DPI rules that block the handshake initiation [1],…

    We don't support full-tunnel yet, but it's just around the corner. Track this issue if you're interested in its progress: https://github.com/firezone/firezone/issues/2667

    Thanks! Erlang/OTP has so far been an excellent platform to build on for a product like Firezone. We chose it specifically for its reputation for powering soft realtime systems. Ph…

    Are you referring to the macOS client app? It's built in Swift with an FFI bridge to the Rust-powered connectivity layer. Source is here: https://github.com/firezone/firezone/tree/…
