galliumos-skylake VS easy-wg-quick

My Chromebook uses a Skylake processor. So I went to https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-skylake, cloned the repository using git and then copied the usr folder to /usr, etc to /etc and lib to /lib (all recursively). After that, I run the debian/postinst script with root permissions and rebooted.

After that, I tried applying the fixes from https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-skylake for Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 10. I copied the files to right directories and run the postinstal script as root. That didn't work. I realized I probably need a specific version of the Linux kernel. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and did the same. It worked. Audio was working perfectly on Ubuntu 18.04 on kernel 4.15. Then, I tried upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04. I booted with the kernel 4.15... And the audio didn't work.

I tried applying the patches from the Gallium OS GitHub repo (https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-skylake) on Arch Linux, Ubuntu (20.04 and 21.10) and Fedora (latest stable).

So in real life terms, what does this mean for people that own USG3s? If you're so inclined, replace it? Or not use the VPN feature in the Unifi admin console?

Personally, I just forward all WireGuard traffic to another computer on my network and use https://github.com/burghardt/easy-wg-quick to setup a simple VPN.

I'm using https://github.com/burghardt/easy-wg-quick for this. It works beautifully. I simply port forward to my raspberry pi that handles all of this.

I installed WireGuard using the instructions here, but when I tried to connect to it with my phone, it just didn't have internet access. any idea why?

I have some issues setting up wireguard on a linux manjaro system. Basically, i only want to connect my iPhone with this server. So i used easy-wg-quick as this makes things easier. easy-wg-quick creates a random port while setting up, lets say 12345. Thispport is forwarded in my router settings so i can reach my linux system from outside. After everything is done, i'll get a qr code which i can scan with my iphone and the wireguard app. The config file seems to be okay as i can configure this profile. At this point i'm thinking "ok this should work" and i connect to the vpn with mobile connection and do the `sudo wg show` to see if something is happening. But nothing. `sudo wg show` gives me no output at all. https://ibb.co/PmM7TCw

If you opt for Wireguard, which in my experience was faster, you can use this

If you trust any VPS like AWS, or GCP ( or Linode in my case ), you can host your own Wireguard VPN too with this easy script (here ) ( this also looks very promising )

I used this repo

If you wanna host your own vpn ( with static ip sadly ), try this repo, also Netflix wouldn't work with this method. Host as close as possible ( mumbai )

If anyone needs this, host your own Wireguard with this quick setup in 20-30 minutes https://github.com/burghardt/easy-wg-quick
