this reminds me of zerotier. however i confess i don’t know a lot of how it works under the hood. what is the main difference of this with zerotier in terms of potential use cases? it seems a very cool project and would like to try it out.
- rudasn 3y agoThanks! :) So, WireHub is basically a wireguard config generator. A tool to generate some text files. What you do with those files is up to you. Because getting from text files to a fully working and secure VPN is the real deal, you have things like zerotier, tailscale, etc which provide you with a bunch of custom-made tools to do that. Problem is, with solutions like that you place a lot of trust on these companies because they effectively control everything. It's like trusting CloudFlare to be your DNS (no need to get into that discussion though). So WireHub is kind of the middle ground. Makes it easy to create and maintain wireguard networks (configs for each and every device and their peers) and gets out of the way for when it comes to deployment. If Wirehub goes down, you just don't get to update your configs via its UI. If it gets hacked, you get your public keys exposed - no biggie, right?
