wormhole-william-mobile VS WireGuardMeshes

I made the android† port of Wormhole William[1] specifically to help transfer some encryption keys that I didn't want to ever live unencrypted on a server in the cloud.

†: There's also a working iOS port but its not released on the App Store because of how hostile Apple makes that process to open source developers.

That is totally fair. I will say that I got quite a lot of value from being able to see how tailscale-android works when building my own gioui app[0]. I suspect that being able to see the same thing for a modern iOS app would be useful to some small set of developers, even if they couldn't produce a fully working tailscale binary on their own dev machines.

It really does feel like Apple just doesn't care that their app policies are hostile to developers because they have such a strong monopoly on mobile app distribution.

Wormhole William (version 8): End-to-end encrypted file transfer for Android. An Android Magic Wormhole client

TLDR at the bottom.

It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w.

It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install.

So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people.

So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3].

Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

TLDR: ask them to install [5] and [6].

Try it, it's usage is cute and really feels like magic.

Is anyone using Netmaker to manage multiple networks? We have been using ztncui to manage multiple Zerotier networks, occasionally we have trouble with locked down routers, so we are looking at alernatives. For the uninitiated, here are a few comparison charts: https://github.com/HarvsG/WireGuardMeshes https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker https://github.com/cedrickchee/awesome-wireguard

You're looking to automatically set up a Wireguard mesh. Luck would have it that there's a great overview of solutions for this. I personally use innernet, but something like Tailscale or Netmaker may be more user-friendly.

How do they manage their mesh?

I've just been doing research on setting up my own wireguard mesh (currently using a spoke/hub setup with pi-hole/pivpn).

I found https://github.com/HarvsG/WireGuardMeshes today which is awesome, but I'm curious what fly.io / other readers here may be using.
