Mozilla.social is live and open to registration
> think they don't support plain wireguard/openvpn from CLI, you're stuck with a client not available for your officially supported OS...
This is possible, I had good results with https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire

MozillaVPN exclude list either doesn't work or I'm doing it wrong
If you're happy working directly with wireguard there's https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/ which will give you wireguard configs for MozillaVPN.

DMCA Notice from Google Fiber should I be freaking out the way I am? I was using QB with TorGuard, but the kill-switch must have not worked.
I wrote a program to be able to get wireguard config files using MozillaVPN you may be interested in: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

Not sure if this works with 10.13, but you can try: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire

Mozilla VPN bro working on mobile (iPhone iOS 16) since software update. Have uninstalled, turned phone on and off etc. it blocks all my traffic. Turned it off and got flooded with notifications. Anyone else experiencing issues?
The Mozilla VPN app never worked for me. What I do is use Mozwire to get WireGuard configuration files and use the default WireGuard app works fine.

Thinking about rolling release
Hello, shameless plug here, you may be interested in this client for Mozilla VPN: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

Question about open source (sorry if I sound dumb)
Lastly (shameless plug) you can use Mozilla VPN without using the official client and use https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire.git (here the difference in terms of trust with MozillaVPN is mainly that MozWire is much smaller and so can be audited easily and MozWire is much easier to compile than the official mozilla vpn client).

I did some benchmarks of Linux WireGuard implementations
Right now the three major Linux implementations are wireguard-linux, wireguard-go and BoringTun. With some recent improvements to wireguard-go I decided to benchmark each one of them with ping and iPerf 3 over TCP and UDP.

Show HN: TunnlTo – Windows WireGuard split tunnel client built with Rust, Tauri
I assume since Wiresock is using BoringTun(https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun) under the hood, it works similar to other userspace implementations of wireguard, (e.g. wireguard-go, wireguard-rs) in that it uses a TUN device to deliver packets to the userspace implementation, and back out to the network. So, no driver installation required, but CAP_NET_ADMIN is required to create the TUN device.

Set up your own VPN at home with Raspberry Pi – Wolfang's Blog
It's using some sort of a custom installer that also downloads Cloudflare's BoringTun (https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun) directly from the author's website (nyr[.]be), since Cloudflare doesn't seem to offer it as a binary release. Example:
{ wget -qO- https://wg.nyr[.]be/1/latest/download 2>/dev/null || curl -sL https://wg.nyr.be/1/latest/download ; } | tar xz -C /usr/local/sbin/ --wildcards 'boringtun-*/boringtun' --strip-components 1 -
