Not sure why this needs to exist. Wireguard is quicker and easier, and apparently has much better security.

- xmprt 2y agoProbably an example of what a minimal VPN could look like. I think it's more for educational purposes rather than to actually be used.
- sevg 2y agoTo be fair, there's no mention on the README that it's for research or education, so I think it's reasonable to judge it as a "production" tool.
- alexvitkov 2y agoIf you by default treat every GitHub repo as quality production code unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, you're in for a bad time.
- sevg 2y agoNo, I didn't say assume it is production quality, I said "judge". In other words, measure it against a higher standard. First person compared it to WireGuard, next person said yeah but it's probably for education, and I'm saying yeah but I think it's fair to compare it to WireGuard since the README doesn't make it clear whether it's a toy or a production tool. And if you compare it to WireGuard then it becomes clear you shouldn't use this thing if you want real encryption.
- vendiddy 2y agoEven if for educational purposes, a tool intended for security should have good security.
- mojyack 2y agoOf course, I think WireGuard is more robust and powerful. But I wanted a tool that was simple and quick to set up. And it's a great way to learn about networking.
