  • Send Wireguard Android configuration from MDM.

  • Running a VPN server on iOS is against AppStore's Guidelines
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Oct 2022
    Okay, I just dove into wireguard‘s source code and it looks like I made wrong assumptions. When I used mullvad or wireguard, it always showed „127.0.0.1“ as the server, however, according to wireguard‘s source, this is just set as a placeholder. I assume that mullvad used this code to implement their app too.

  • Wireguard forced-on for iOS devices
    1 project | /r/firewalla | 13 Oct 2022
    The most hopeful discussion was this Github project... but., I can't get iOS to accept the .mobileconfig as a legitimate profile. Hoping some of the smart folks here had a solution.

  • Question regarding device management:
    2 projects | /r/ios | 13 Feb 2022
    So, I found this guide to create a mobileconfig for WireGuard (https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-apple/blob/master/MOBILECONFIG.md) , and I’ve heard a mobileconfig with a managed device can force the phone to make ALL traffic go through vpn (I run a pihole accessible via WireGuard and want to use with that) and my question is how do I setup a managed device for myself for the purpose of total network traffic control?
