Thanks for the feedback. Indeed there are the wg(8) and wg-quick(8) man pages, and probably you should read the whole _front page_ of wireguard.com, namely this part -- https://www.wireguard.com/#conceptual-overview https://www.wireguard.com/#conceptual-overview -- which gives some important conceptual overviews to learn what's going on. Probably if you don't have the conceptual overview in mind, the quickstart won't make much sense; this may indeed be a fault in the writing presumptions of the quickstart.
The side-by-side video puts this -- https://www.wireguard.com/talks/talk-demo-screencast.mp4 https://www.wireguard.com/talks/talk-demo-screencast.mp4 -- in a <video> tag. I'm a kernel developer, not a web developer, so if you have a suggestion on how to fix it in your browser, I'm all ears.
With all that said, we probably should rewrite the quickstart page to be a little more intuitive and "quicker", so that people can get an idea of what to do without having to understand or think about anything... Maybe a better approach for that might be: "Here's what you do on one side. Here's what you do on the other side."
In any case, I guarantee that learning WireGuard is faster and simpler than learning StrongSwan or any IPsec things.
After the Netdev conference, which is next week, I'll allocate some time to improving documentation. Thanks for the feedback here, and sorry for the frustration.
- hamandcheese 9y agoIs the website open source? Do you accept contributions?
- zx2c4 9y agoNot open source, but I should probably clean things up and make it open source. It's just a bunch of markdown files that get rendered. I do accept contributions, though.
- 1_player 9y agoThanks, I hope I've given you some constructive criticism and wasn't too harsh. I'm really interested, I hoped it was something I could install quickly and easily at 10pm before bed, I guess I'll study it better during the weekend and compare it against StrongSwan.
- 1_player 9y agoBTW, Firefox says the video is corrupt, Safari doesn't play it, only Chrome does. Probably a couple bits rotted since you've recorded it :)
- zx2c4 9y agoJeepers creepers. I'll try to fix it. Probably a yuv444p issue. Update: fixed now. I had to re-encode it to change the colorspace, as suspected, and now things should be working fine in Firefox (though I haven't a Mac to test Safari).
- AceJohnny2 9y agoVideo works on Safari 10.1.1 (macOS 10.12.5) :)
- zie 9y agoIt works on Safari 11.0 as well(source: me). Thanks for fixing it!
