Wireguard Kernel Support
-
@nero355 If the kernels are not likely to change, then back-porting features is not dependent on the move to 20.04, but on someone stepping up and actually doing (or digging in and learning to do) the work.

@arubislander
Hmm... that's true... I totally forgot... my bad!

If you checked my GitHub repo recently (or watched one of the last Q&As) I did precisely that: backporting Wireguard.
It's just that the app in the OpenStore is completely dysfunctional for anyone with a sudo password.

@fredldotme Is there any straight forward way to use wireguard in UT now ? I've seen a tuto, but for openvpn. I have these .conf files that are waiting... whereas being in Australia, one of the five eyes, make me file the need for it more strongly than before.

I don't spend a lot of time on either of those, sorry!
Do you have a direct link ?

Not sure if I understand what you mean there... ??

@Fteacher @nero355 to keep it short: The device itself is now very much capable of using Wireguard, but the app in the Open Store only works if you have no PIN set.
I have started work on making it work on pretty much every other configuration because, IMO, having a password/PIN set should be the default. I just haven't been able to complete it with limited time available.
So sadly there is no "straight forward" way to do it right now, but if you're capable of making a Wireguard configurator yourself, then please go ahead as I would very much like to see this completed.

@fredldotme Yep, I've seen the Q&A about Wireguard, that's where I thought to myself, it should work it's just me being wrong about something obvious. When you say no PIN set, you mean, within our VPNs providers ? Right now I'm using Torguard (uses wireguard) and Protonvpn (other protocol) and I can't have any of these working because they both need a password (probably most vpn providers do)
I don't code and I'm infinitely grateful for those doing that job "for me" (and the whole community). So thanks fredldotme for the work already done. -
@fredldotme Love your work on the device. Its great. Wireguard support is possibly the only major thing that is preventing my daily use as it is critical for a lot of my self hosted life. From a security standpoint I will wait until the device is functional with the password working as if i for whatever reason lost it, with no password i could be up a creek without a paddle

@fredldotme any update on the app compatibility with 3a XL?
I really would like wireguard support with a pin -

How much would it be worth for you?
