  • Show HN: Weron – A Peer-to-Peer VPN Based on WebRTC Written in Go
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 May 2022
    Hi! n2n was a huge inspiration for the project, in fact I wrote Go bindings for n2n before starting it: https://github.com/pojntfx/gon2n

    Weron also allows tunneling - just specify a TURN server on `--ice` and enable `--force-relay`, in which case it will probably scale to well over 100 nodes ^^ The signaling servers are fully horizontally scalable, so that you can benefit from a faster backbone on a global scale scenario - Redis coordinates messages, kicks etc. between them and a Postgres database maintains central state, such as credentials for persistent communities and client counts.

    In terms of key rotation & encryption - weron heavily depends on DTLS as provided by Pion/WebRTC and thus inherits similar security properties. It is not possible to disable encryption of WebRTC, but tbf the performance benefits of using plain SCTP don't seem to be worth it as the RTT latency and resulting decrease in throughput[1] is the dominant performance bottleneck.
