MozWire VS elk

> 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

If you're happy working directly with wireguard there's https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/ which will give you wireguard configs for MozillaVPN.

I've written a tool to use Mozilla VPN from the command line: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

You can use this: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/

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

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.

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

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).

This has lead to a delightful variety of custom clients like https://phanpy.social/ - https://elk.zone/ is another example that I really like.

It's the complete opposite of the Twitter API situation, where they locked their API down and killed the entire ecosystem of third-party clients.

And there are tons of third party clients. I think Tusky is the best one I’ve seen for Android, and there’s an interesting web-based one called Elk that’s very nice. You load up https://elk.zone and then use it as a front-end to sign in to your server.

The answer to that is https://elk.zone atm, a fun and chef's kiss interface (built with nuxt). You can insert elk.zone/ before any Mastodon url. https://phanpy.social is also great, with multi columns even for lists.

A browser plugin (like "Mastodon – Simplified Federation") to follow, favorite, etc. directly on any server has also improved my experience a lot.

Quick! Tell Obama and Taylor Swift about https://elk.zone! They're going to be so excited!

Also try logging in through https://elk.zone/ if you want to stick with the familiar twitter interface

For me, the boost/reply-numbers using https://elk.zone have been much more reliable than the original app. (It's also the (web)app that convinced me. Mastodon is the real deal.)

Try elk.zone. You can log into the UI with an account from any instance. I use it as my main UI and it looks pretty close to twitter, at least close enough for me.
