User space WireGuard proxy in Rust

Project mention: A userspace WireGuard client that exposes itself as a proxy | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-03-26

Sure, essentially it's a TCP and UDP server that:
- receives connections and assigns a random internal port for it
- wraps the data packets in a transport packet (TCP/UDP)
- wraps the transport in an IP packet that's routed from the internal port and to the remote WireGuard address
- wraps that with WireGuard's protocol (encryption)
- sends off the encrypted packet to the WireGuard UDP endpoint
The packet-wrapping and state machine for the connection is implemented using smoltcp in Rust, which is similar to netstack in Go
The WireGuard encapsulation and state machine is implemented with boringtun, Cloudflare's implementation of the WireGuard client in Rust.
I do have a more thorough architecture explanation in the Readme: https://github.com/aramperes/onetun#architecture
vopono

9 511 8.1 Rust

Run applications through VPN tunnels with temporary network namespaces

Project mention: More than a decade of doing this and I finally get a letter... | reddit.com/r/Piracy | 2023-01-09

This is why I use vopono - you can run just the torrent client in the VPN on its own and the killswitch keeps it safe.
MozWire

6 428 4.7 Rust

MozWire is an unofficial configuration manager giving Linux, macOS users (among others), access to MozillaVPN.

Project mention: DMCA Notice from Google Fiber should I be freaking out the way I am? I was using QB with TorGuard, but the kill-switch must have not worked. | reddit.com/r/Piracy | 2023-01-08

I wrote a program to be able to get wireguard config files using MozillaVPN you may be interested in: https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire/
