The ball's in your court, Ubiquiti

Not ubiquiti's doing but this repo has pre-built kernel modules of wireguard and vyatta integration for I think most of the edgerouter series: https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-vyatta-ubnt https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-vyatta-ubnt I haven't updated/tested in awhile but last I remember I was seeing 800+ mbit/s on my dinky mips ER-X. Pretty amazing and easy to use.

  We built an Ansible role to install and configure Wireguard on EdgeOS. It works well on EdgeRouter Infinity ER-8-XG and EdgeRouter X. https://github.com/dynamist/ansible-role-wireguard-vyatta https://github.com/dynamist/ansible-role-wireguard-vyatta

    This repo appears to use Lochnair's old builds, which are unmaintained/deprecated and replaced with the official ones linked to by GP.

  Can confirm, way back I wrote a small guide on how to install and configure Wireguard on the ER-X (and other EdgeRouters), and to date this article is still by far the most read one: https://merlinscholz.name/post/wireguard-on-erx/ https://merlinscholz.name/post/wireguard-on-erx/

  Unfortunately 3rd party software installs are lost on updates, so you need to be local to the router before upgrading (or have a secondary VPN available). Development of EdgeOS has really slowed down though, there hasnt been a stable firmware update in 6 months (and that was just a small hotfix).

It's not. Why would one want that workload on their router when they can offload it to a $35 Pi?
- jvolkman 6y ago
  Because then you don't have to run an additional $35 Pi.

    And apply updates to it...

  I understand that amateurs love the Pi and other underpowered, junk hardware, but not everybody wants yet another science project in their life.

    "It's free!" they say, if you can get it to run The Geeks say, "Hey, that's half the fun!" Yeah, but I got a girlfriend, and things to get done The Linux OS SUCKS (I'm sorry to say it, but it does.) https://genius.com/Three-dead-trolls-in-a-baggie-every-os-sucks-lyrics https://genius.com/Three-dead-trolls-in-a-baggie-every-os-su...

      I was about to be annoyed by this comment until I saw it in the context of a song about how every operating sucks, which, when framed like that, I can't help but agree with. ;) (although I will say that I've been having a better time w/ arch linux + dwm lately than any OS / setup I've ever used-- but then again I also love raspberry pis, have like 3 of them, and am, in fact, using one to run dnsmasq / wireguard, so... xD)

    IDK if you know, but it seems you're shadow banned. Which I find annoying because I wanted to reply to another post you wrote.

Yeah well don't hold your breath :(. Ubiquiti has been a cluster fuck for a while now and are busy redoing and downgrading the UI again for like the 3rd or 4th time in the last few years rather then add desperately needed basic features. They've released new gateway devices with their own new distro based around containerization, then not actually put that to work at all. DNS still a joke. Zero story for key&certificate management/let's encrypt/etc. Maybe Pera will get hit by a bus and things will get turned around but otherwise it's a sad mess and waste of potential.

  What features are they needing to add?
