This is a plug for my stuff, but a relevant plug nonetheless:
If you think you need a VPN, you probably need a good VPN protocol to go with it. Rather than using outdated legacy cruft like OpenVPN or IPsec, you might like WireGuard:
https://www.wireguard.com/ https://www.wireguard.com/
It's still in the early days, but the protocol is formally verified, the overall design has received academic review, the Linux implementation is maturing quite rapidly, and we'll soon have Mac and Windows clients available. Part of the WireGuard Protocol uses the Noise Protocol Framework from Trevor Perrin, of Signal Protocol fame.
- mads 9y agoI used Wireguard to connect multi datacenter nodes in a Kubernetes cluster recently and I recommend it. It works very well and is very simple compared to other VPN technologies. Thanks for your work. :)
