#wireguard

5 posts5 participants0 posts today

Set up a #wireguard #VPN endpoint on my VPS to use on my mobile devices.

With another VPN going from my internal network to this VPS, so I can reach my internal services.

Benefit over just tunneling everything over my home connection? Higher speeds!

My home network is limited to 300/20 Mbps (down/up), my VPS is 1Gbps up/down.

The 20Mbps up was becoming "annoying".

My country is going through one of its very many fuck-with-the-internet phases.

I used to use #WireGuard for a self-hosted VPN, and it worked pretty well. Is there anything in that landscape that has changed in the last five or so years? ❤️

So, if I want to buy a paper book to learn about WireGuard, what's the book to buy? Is it Lin Song's? I also need to learn more about IPv6 at some point, so if there's some book that covers both, maybe that would be better? Or will the upcoming #n4sa2e have all the knowledge I'll need, @mwl ? #AskFedi #WireGuard biblio.com/9798987508909

Edit to add: I also need to learn more about pf, so answers which include that would also be welcome.

Here's the customary #introduction: i'm into #C and tolerate C++ on a daily basis at work, i've also used others like java, kotlin, python, PHP, etc and am curious about #COBOL, #AdaLanguage and #erlang.

My dislike of jenkins is only surpassed by my hate of githubactions and everything MS-related. AI is not I, only A. I'm interested in #selfhosted stuff but atm that's a VPS with some sites, which doesn't really count. For now #syncthing is quite useful and #wireguard is on the horizon once i reformat/reinstall my current #gentoo (i'll keep the root #ZFS aproach and am on the fence regarding #XFCE or #KDE), would be interesting to have a barebones #KVM/#QEMU running all the stuff and i digress.

Going in all directions today 😅🤪

How are you guys feeling with using #tailscale versus sticking to "plain vanilla" #wireguard for your #VPN between domestic systems (phone, tablet, home PC, #VPS, ...)?

I do see the value of #tailscale to avoid manually generating many keys when a new device joins the network, central view of your #tailnet ,...

But it's not #foss (at least not the coordination server), and its impact on battery (at least on iPhone) is quite significant.

Staying a "purist" or accepting the facility of a service running on top of a great protocol? 😅

Für eigene Verbindungen die offizielle #Wireguard app verwenden. Alternativ evtl kleinere Projekte wie #WGTunnel github.com/zaneschepke/wgtunne oder #RethinkDNS (was noch viel mehr kann). OpenVPN auch okay.

Alles andere ist Schwachsinn, Firmen sollen aufhören irgendwelche komischen proprietären Anwendungen zu nutzen.

Für verbesserte Privatsphäre #MullvadVPN #AirVPN #ProtonVPN #IVPN und erstmal keine weiteren.

Für Anonymität #Tor.

#VPN.s schleusen jeglichen Verkehr durch fremde Server!

Sind hier auch VPN Experten? Ich habe auf einem VServer Wireguard-Easy laufen. Mit einem Router (RUTX50) und einem Client kann ich mich damit verbinden. Mit dem Client komm ich mit 10.8.0.2 auf die Weboberfläche vom Router. Wie komm ich jetzt auf die Geräte (Nas, Kamera,..) hinterm Router?

Sigh. Search for information about configuring #Wireguard on #FreeBSD. Second result on #DuckDuckGo is a slop web site, which initially looks plausible but then runs a bunch of configuration commands that don't exist on FreeBSD. It does make up plausible output from the FreeBSD equivalents of those commands though!

I wonder how much of the productivity gains of using GenAI are simply slightly offsetting the productivity loses that come from everyone else using it.
