- ktta 9y agoYou might find this interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16325394 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16325394 There was a lot of discussion of wireguard there.
- zaarn 9y agoI've tried Tinc, Wireguard and OpenVPN. Currently I'm on OVPN via a pfSense box (doesn't support WG yet). Tinc is neat if you need a mesh network but it was an utter pain to properly setup (half the time I wouldn't get any connection, the other I would not get data over it). OVPN and WG have been fairly pleasant in that regard, though OVPN still suffers from some non-obvious failure cases when you stray away from a simple VPN connection. In my case, I only dial into a OVH instance to A) setup/config containers on it and B) use OVH as VPN. Tinc's mesh network is overkill, the clients are all behind X number of NATs or firewalls and without the central server there is no use for the VPN. I might think about Tinc again if I feel the urge to setup multiple boxes.
