wireguard-go VS rust

Would you accept https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/blob/master/tun/ne... as a solution? =)

Maybe https://github.com/cloudflare/boringtun or https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go ?

It's likely just `tailscale serve https / `.

https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/main/ipn/serve.g...

And they also support direct embedding:

I think this is built on the wireguard-go + gvisor mashup, that allows you to do this with just Wireguard:

https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/tree/master/tun/ne...

One of my favorite applications of this is this little tool that turns Wireguard VPNs into SOCKS5 proxies (which you can selectively enable in your browser)

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/octeep/wireproxy

They added this pull-request to wireguard-go and i assume they have already included it in their new version.

Vanilla WireGuard doesn't provide a way to run a peer in userspace that can proxy traffic between another peer and an endpoint such as a web server because you need to be privileged to do thinks like work with raw packets. However, https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go is a userspace implementation of WireGuard and has recently incorporated Google's userspace networking stack. This project uses these two userspace tools to "fake" a privileged WireGuard peer that proxies TCP, UDP, and (a small subset of) ICMP. It was written as a pentesting/red team utility for my team but it can also serve as a general makeshift VPN when you don't have privileges on a box you want to proxy through.

How "scratch" do you want to go from? Do you want to write your own virtual network driver, or do you want to use an existing driver like Wintun? Either way learning about Wintun would be a good start. Then there's the protocol, regardless of what language you learn, the wireguard-go implementation is a very good example of how to implement a secure protocol with modern language.

wireguard-go (the official userspace impl in golang) can do this since several months back. It uses gVisor's netstack as a tcp/udp provider to forward connections to its peer.

Here's a demonstration of both a http-client and a http-server running over wireguard (a poor man's QUIC): https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/tree/master/tun/ne...

fly.io wrote about such setups not long ago too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26315695

And tailscale.com uses a similar setup (with netstack) on non-Linux/xBSD platforms: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28261683

I think you can try wireguard-go,

It's in a PR here: https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/pull/11/files

Which mentions:

> Typically throughout WireGuard, we've used [4]byte for v4 and [16]byte for v6, considering the Go standard library's choice of v6-mapped-v4 to be a mistake.

It actually looks useful, there's something similar in wgtypes, and I wanted to use it recently [0] but that package unfortunately doesn't expose a way to write it out to a string/buffer, so I ended up almost replicating it.

(There's a lot of ways of presenting/parsing/constructing the same config options there! I'm sure if I were more fluent in Go there's some more succinct way.)

If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44650

This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html

Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

Almost fixed the compiler: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123325

Rust: A secure, efficient, and modern programming language (omitting ten thousand words). You can simply follow the installation instructions provided on the official website.

Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.

To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/

We strongly believe in Rust as a powerful language for building production-grade software, especially for systems like ours that run alongside Kubernetes.

The above Assert<{N % 2 == 1}> requires #![feature(generic_const_exprs)] and the nightly toolchain. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76560 for more info.
