  • tailscale

    The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

    The end-user doesn’t need to do their own key exchange/management.

    Case in point: https://tailscale.com/

    Why should WireGuard bake all that stuff into the core protocol and at the same time make it overly complicated? Donenfeld knows zero about your organization and he doesn’t pretend to do so either. Are you an entusiast home user, a startup of six persons in a garage or are you IBM with over 300000 employees? All of those can use WireGuard but will have wildly different needs when it comes to authentication and deployment. There’s no sane one-size-fits-all solution for all kinds of organizations and use-cases.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • go-shadowsocks2

    Modern Shadowsocks in Go

    To be honest WireGuard over Shadowsocks is neither common nor recommended, coz essentially it's TCP-over-TCP which will wreak havoc on TCP congestion control.

    Unless you mean WireGuard over Shadowsocks UDP transport, but that is even less common.

    (Disclaimer: I wrote the official Go port of Shadowsocks https://github.com/shadowsocks/go-shadowsocks2)
