dsnet VS Netmaker

Yes, that is true. But there are projects that can simplify WG's deployment without compromising security like dsnet.

I have a config provided by a VPN provider, which generates the private key as well as the public (I think there's no way to provide a public key for them to use). I'm also using dsnet to generate peer configurations, and that also generates a new priv/pub key pair. The end result is that I have two different private keys, one for each endpoint. This (having multiple pub/priv pairs) is neither bad security[1], nor uncommon, and while it's trivial to have multiple Wireguard configurations running at the same time on Linux I haven't found a way to do this through the mobile app. This is because the app allows only one active Wireguard configuration at a time, and there's no facility for supplying two private keys within one Wireguard config file.

I made this: https://github.com/naggie/dsnet/ -- a simple command to manage a centralised wireguard VPN. Think wg-quick but quicker: key generation + address allocation

My plan is to set up an EC2 instance and host a VPN, considering options like Netmaker, OpenVPN, or Tailscale. The goal is to connect these devices to the VPN, enabling SSH access from any connected node. This method seems cost-effective(Considering I want to use 100s of devices and potentially 1000s) and straightforward, requiring a simple setup with a sudo apt command on the Raspberry Pi.

I'm wondering if there are any alternative approaches to achieve this. Is something like Netmaker or Tailscale feasible enough? If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Honorable mention:

SuperHighway84 - more of a Usenet-inspired darknet, but I love the concept + the author's personal website:

Exciting news to share! Netmaker has officially embraced open source. This momentous decision was unveiled at the Open Source Summit in Europe when the pull request successfully merged, transitioning their server from the SSPL to the widely recognized Apache License 2.0.

While we've encountered some challenges and worked with vendors like Cisco to find solutions, I'm curious about recommendations for SD-WAN providers that are well-suited for SASE users. This includes not only Zscaler but also other options like Netmaker, Palo Alto, Cloudflare, Cisco, and Forcepoint.

Now, my main question is how I can link my DDNS host endpoint with my EC2 instances, allowing only my home network to access them. I've come across a variety of suggestions, such as Netmaker, OpenVPN, Tailscale etc. but I'm curious to hear your opinions on these solutions.

HN is somehow always timely. Currently, these folks expect me to sign a CLA for a one-byte change to their README: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/pull/2516
