this is a really neat writeup! the design choice to make each "exit node" control the local wireguard connections instead of a global control plane is pretty neat.
an unfinished project I worked on (https://github.com/redpwn/rvpn https://github.com/redpwn/rvpn) was a bit more ambitious with a global control plane and I quickly learned supporting multiple clients especially anything networking related is a tarpit. the focus on linux / aws specifically here and the results achievable from it are nice to see.
networking is challenging and this was a nice deep dive into some networking internals, thanks for sharing the details :)
- ekzhang 2y agoThanks for sharing. I'm interested in seeing what a global control plane might look like, seems like authentication might be tricky to get right! Controlling our worker environment (like `net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter` sysctl) is a big help for us since it means we don't have to deal with the fullness of all possible network configurations.
