Good Morning! I’m posting about one cool open source project every day. Today’s #OpenSourceDaily is https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/about/ WireGuard is a VPN written in C but there is also a go implementation. They have clients for all major platforms and it is super easy to install and use the server, especially with the various docker images and tutorials available. Most modern VPN services provide WireGuard connection profiles. The protocol is opinionated about what encryption and protocols are available but this frees them from the bloat involved in supporting old tech. I had been using OpenVPN for years but after the first time I tried WireGuard I never looked back. Stuff like peer DNS just works out of the box and it feels much faster and more stable than OpenVPN.
