- kitotik 7y agoOh this is awesome! A kernel space wireguard implementation and something like beehyve are the last 2 things I need to be able to start using fbsd a lot more.
- mdtancsa 7y agoAny idea whats the target date for it in the tree ?
- gonzo 7y agowhen it's ready, of course. It just started passing packets (ping) last week. It would have been at this point weeks ago, had Jason not baked his e-mail address into the handshake protocol. (Harumph.)
- ta1771 7y agoElaborate?
- loeg 7y agoMatt changing random algorithm parameters he didn't understand is kind of on him, sorry. I'm glad of the work he's doing, and your funding of FreeBSD native wireguard work, but just changing random cryptographic parameters before had had packets passing was an exercise in foot-shooting.
- joeschmooo 6y agoIt was certainly naive of him. However, can't deny that baking the authors e-mail & domain name in to the protocol is pretty narcissistic.
- joeschmooo 6y agoConrad - although your observation is correct, this dig is a bod look when you've essentially never set foot outside of your fairly limited technical sandbox.
