Wireguard is currently one of the most popular VPNs. However, I’ve noticed that its configuration requires manual setup, involving tasks such as setting up IP addresses of other machines and changing the private keys between those machines.
I’m curious to know how you handle these configurations. Is there any quick way to exchange information about the machines or do you use any third-party applications or similar tools to streamline this process?
I use OpenWrt for my setup, which makes it pretty straightforward to configure WireGuard manually.
NordVPN uses a WireGuard spinoff called NordLynx which is super simple.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll take a look at OpenWrt and NordVPN.
By the way, I recently came across Tailscale, which seems to be a user-friendly VPN solution using Wireguard as its backend. Do you have any experience with it?
Yes, Tailscale is pretty cool. I’ve been using the brume and brume 2 with it.
For someone seeking a deeper understanding of VPN functionality and how Tailscale resolves NAT traversal challenges using TUN/STUN, which can be particularly challenging with Wireguard, there are two comprehensive technical articles available for reference, published by Tailscale.
