Wireguard VPN

[imc67]

@yusf Wouldn't it be great to combine it with Pi-hole, then you have an all-in-one "always safe home" connection? The apps (ie. iOS and MacOS) of Wireguard are btw absolutely great, always connection, fast, never failes and even after reboot immediately connects.

Is there a wireguard UI in progress? We can probably re-purpose what @mehdi wrote for the OpenVPN app for wireguard as well.

[imc67]

@girish there are a lot (too many) initiatives for a web GUI none really mature IMHO. Currently I use PIVPN (can also be installed on Ubuntu) with commandline, very easy, very simple and also with QR code (from the command line!)

@murgero Wireguard has been audited many times now. It is even upstreamed into the kernel.

Replying to old comments is hard apparently.

@yusf 100% this!! I actually already use it daily heheh

[murgero]

@will My original response to this post was almost a year ago - so of course stuff has changed since........

@murgero hahaah noted! I'll remove my reply!

[murgero]

@will No worries mate cheers!

For interest I find this WG service decent. I have 1Gb fibre and it's able to achieve about 90% of that speed, whereas Open VPN (with pfSense on Vultr) I get about 20% of my bandwidth:

@Miggi I am a big fan, too and are upvoting.

Please also see this thread:

Together it makes even more sense.

+1 - Been using WireGuard over OpenVPN for the past couple of months and prefer it!

[dylightful]

@girish Now that Adguard has been implemented. Any future plans for Wireguard?

[imc67]

@dylightful I really hope so, OpenVPN from iOS and MacOS is dramatic (maybe also on other platforms?) and WireGuard is really fast, stateless and always on.

[ruihildt]

Wireguard is also low on battery usage comparing to OpenVPN. (on Android at least)

[JLX89]

Yes, this would be incredible! +1

[dylightful]

Quite and polite bump

[dylightful]

@girish any update on Wireguard? has quite a few votes now

[girish]

@dylightful not really, we haven't started working on it. We just finished releasing 6.2.

[kallados]

WG would be great! Absolutely. Openvpn is dead sorry (im mean Performance). Maybe for DSL fine, but if you have "normal " modern Conection >100mbit... WG ist almost alone, who can deliver really nice speed with pretty easy user friendly Installation.

[dylightful]

@kallados The best option at the moment is Nyr's WG script. Obviously means you have to create a new VM if you want to keep your Cloudron 'clean'.

Nevertheless, i agree OpenVPN is old news. Hopefully soon
