WireGuard Didn't Make it To The Mainline Linux Kernel This Cycle
- tptacek 8y agoThis is too bad, but, really, WireGuard is incredibly easy to get set up regardless. I've had harder times with SSH configurations than with rolling out WireGuard. It's a pretty amazing piece of software.
- johntash 8y agoDo you have any experiencing using BGP and/or DHCP with wireguard? It looks like it might be as easy as running dhcpd/dnsmasq on the wireguard interface, but I haven't seen that much documentation on it yet..
- tptacek 8y agoNope! WireGuard just presents to the rest of the system as a standard IP interface, and integrates into the rest of the Linux network system, so presumably BGP works fine. DHCP might be trickier? What's the use case for running BGP over WireGuard? I'm just curious.
- iofiiiiiiiii 8y agoToo bad. I recently tried Wiregoard and the installer told me that I need to disable Secure Boot for some kernel/driver reason. This immediately disqualified it from serious use in my scenarios. I expect I will try again once it is built-in.
- zx2c4 8y agoI'll be discussing the Zinc library at the conference in Vancouver soon with other developers, and hopefully we'll get to a good place for the next cycle. This sort of thing is, evidently, a process of sorts.
