Fantastic news. I deploy WireGuard to provide a private network (mesh) between VPS servers. Each VPS instance has each other vps as peer. So no single source of failure. I run PostgreSQL with Patroni and GlusterFS over this mesh with no issues. When I add or destroy a VPS with Ansible all VPS nodes get an updated config and reload. This way I don't rely on a single cloud provider because I do not use their private ne…

This problem has be prevented me all the time from rolling out wireguard. But how dows wg-dynamic help which seems just to be a DHCP on wireguard implementation? You still have to sent every existing node and updated configuration because you provisoned a new one. An overlay network on top of wireguard would be really nice. For example you are running a wireguard network on 169.254.0.0/16. So every peer which is assi…
While WG is pretty cool, you're starting to describe a simple version of ZeroTier. You can achieve exactly what you say with it, along with multiple networks, chosen/assigned ips, p2p routing, shared keys for authentication to the network, etc. You can put extra filtering or routing rules on top of each of the networks.

#183Some tool that would augment WG with more features a-la Tinc would be awesome.

Almost every ISP will have a firewall of some kind, but in the US this is usually just blocking 25 incoming, sometimes 80 (fios), maybe a few other ports. I have run services on port 443 on Optimum and FiOS for years. IP addresses don’t change frequently. Usually what happens is there will be some maintenance and you’ll end up with a new IP because you lost the lease in the interim. If you keep your equipment on thou…
"I have run services on port 443 on Optimum and FIOS for years." What is Optimum, FIOS. WG does not work over TCP. Try running a UDP-only DNS server from home on some random port. If you know the port can you reach it via UDP from the internet. A TCP service listening on port 443 on an ISP customer's IP address in the US might be reachable from the internet. However, this topic is neither TCP nor port 443 nor is it r…
> Try running a UDP-only DNS server from home on some random port.
No reason to run DNS.
However, I run openvpn udp between three houses (fios, Comcast, cablevision) for nearly 15 years. It’s pretty common, works fine.
Again in the US... cable, fiber and dsl internet service comes with a public mostly unfiltered IPv4 address, the address is dynamic but in practice it is extremely stable.
End of story.
No idea why you’re acting like such an imbecilic tool in this thread. The whole time I have mentioned that this is the case for major US “landline” ISPs. Yes there are plenty of counterexamples, not sure what point you’re trying to prove.

Do u maybe know when wireguard would be better than ZeroTier?, been using it for months for p2p(Hamachi like), and for access to the internet like a VPN service. Seems to be most versatile since it works everywhere even behind the deepest nat jungle, and with blazing fast speeds (compared to openvpn haven't tried wireguard yet)

You can support on Patreon for less than the minimum tier. It is just the cut-off over which the rewards (such as stickers here) are given. Support for just $1! He'll still get it!
Thank you, they could make this clearer.

Isn't this what the DynDNS protocol and various daemons are for? Why write your own? :P
Its not exactly "write your own" I have a single line in my crontab that just uses curl to post to a url and the remote server takes the IP address it got the request from and sets the dns to that.

Is there a way to implement a mesh using only the public IP addresses?
I haven't dug fully into but definitely will later today.
Re: WireGuard is now in Linus' tree
#190Anyone aware of a VPN provider that offers WireGuard and supports more than 5 simultaneous connections? I've been using Mullvad but the 5 connections limit is starting to feel really restrictive.
