Would you care to rebut the arguments the blog post puts forth, such as argue that wireguard is actually harder to configure than IPSec or that the protocol is actually less trustworthy?

IPsec’s design era, implementation size... really nothing about the thing is even vaguely comparable.

Also: wireguard is free and open source software. So what precisely are we (people advocating for it) selling? We paid a hell of a lot more than the cost of an OpenVPN AS license so that everyone could get a macOS client, for free. I don’t make a dime off of you using wireguard.

So far 100% of the deployed OpenVPN I’ve seen has had bad crypto. Wireguard just categorically doesn’t have that problem.

> Bitcoin network can work the same way using 10% of its current electricity consumption.

Except by design, bitcoin miners are incentivized to consume more energy the higher the price goes. If they don't consume as much energy as they possibly can, their mining pool will have less of a chance to get that sweet, sweet block reward (....to convert back into an actual currency in order to, you know, pay their bills and stuff....)

> Also, lightning network will allow for thousand times more transactions with same energy cost.

If the solution to bitcoin's horrific energy consumption is to not use bitcoin.... what is the point of bitcoin?

> The fact, that is is used on mining bitcoins just indicate, that people value bitcoin technology more than something else they would spend the electricity on.

It is valued as a speculative asset and an excellent way to launder ill-gotten money. It's only use is for scams. Bitcoin generates a massive negative externality in that it drives up the costs of electricity for all the people who are doing actual productive things with it.

The whole thing is a abhorrent waste and supporters like yourself should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for defending it (using some of the most paper-thin arguments, I might add...).

Oh the problem definitely exists. And it shows in the fact that only more sophisticated teams use VPN.

And when they have to use VPN, too many teams use OpenVPN because it's seemingly the easiest to use. Also there are scripts like the amazing Algo that make it easier to run your own VPN server.

But this has historically been a totally unsolved problem from the perspective of usability.

I look at it as the difference between PGP and keybase. PGP was always too complex to use, and that's a bad security design. Keybase is a lot easier to use (and Signal even easier).

Wireguard is like that. Although I haven't used it yet, the configurations seem like "really? that's it? there's got to be more to it"

> Transactions don't consume energy.

Makes me wonder - what is your definition of a transaction?

Traditionally a transaction is something which has been committed to the book or ledger. Transactions cannot exist out in the wild without being on the books. And the ledger creation in bitcoin doesn't happen until a block is mined. Block mining consumes energy. And hence, transactions consume energy too.

I agree and I find it interesting that teachers are wanting more money for less work...

My 8 year old son who is in the third grade has spent all year 'studying' for the SOL (Standards of Learning) test. All day everyday for the last year nothing but SOL 'prep'. He sits on a Chromebook all day. All of his work is done on a Chromebook, his teacher doesn't even have to grade the assignments it's automatically done by the application. The teacher doesn't even come up with the lesson plan, it's all pushed by the school system. No deviation.

The only reason he has to 'attend' school is because his mother and I work full time. I've considered working remote and just homeschooling my son but I worry about him missing out on the social aspect of school. but that's a double edge sword also.

One last kicker. I never signed anything that would allow my son to use a chromebook or consent to google data mining my son who is under the age of 13. But alas I am sure google has a whole profile built around him and his classmates...
Can you post even one counter-example, please, for everyone's edification?
Its underlying library, OpenSSL, had all kinds of issues. OpenVPN itself allowed many configurations of varying strength and weakness. OpenVPN users could set their own security up to fail while getting false assurances because they were "using a VPN." It was also a large, complex codebase which simultaneously increases number of incidental vulnerabilities and the work necessary for defenders to prevent/find all of them. When one government adopted it, the security firm had to do a lot of hardening (OpenVPN-NL) to reduce its risks. That shouldn't be necessary in a VPN.

On contrary, WireGuard started with strongest crypto it could making it default. There's also the protocol and implementation correctness to consider. WireGuard was formally-verified in Tamarin, kept small on purpose to reduce errors, carefully coded by project author focusing on security more than feature bloat, and reviewed with positive results by other security-focused coders.

It's better assurance than OpenVPN across the board. Even if I didn't have those details, the fact that WireGuard is usable out of the box in Linux while OpenVPN needs to be hardened and extra-carefully configured first would already tell me what I need to know. Use WireGuard, not OpenVPN, if you're able to.

> Getting denied a bank account/job/housing rental/... for no clear reason and with no way to appeal is becoming increasingly common, and seems to have all the same negatives as the social credit program - if anything worse, since at least you can see your "social credit" score and have some idea of how to improve it.

You seem to be confused about the salient differences between the social credit system and Western credit scores. Focusing on the fact that you can be "denied...for no clear reason or way to appeal" to draw an equivalence entirely misses the point.

What's novel and scary about the social credit system is that political actions like criticizing the government or associating with activists could hurt your score. It's not scoped to financial activity like western systems. If I have a low FICO score, I'm 100% certain that it's not because I didn't vote for Trump.

If companies do start charging different amounts based on smart device data, it will most likely be discounts from an increased premium (which you wouldn't get without smart devices) rather than increases in fees due to usage behavior.

We got some kibble from an aunt that the cat isn't keen on. She'll eat it if and only if she's starving and it's the only stuff around. Also we use a feed puzzle tower where she has to paw the kibble through holes to get it into the "bowl". We mixed the bunk kibble with the good stuff to try to coax her to eat it, but she sniffs each kibble and ignores the inferior stuff.

Well, the bunk kibble is round and likes to roll away. So in the course of getting at the good stuff, the round garbage unworthy for the princess scatters everywhere, gets stepped on, attracts ants, etc. Well, I'm left with a tupperware full of the mixed kibble that I have to use up, so I just pour it into the bowl so it doesn't scatter. Pesky poking has given way to the buffet.

China just violently annexed territory 4x the size of France from its neighbors. Nobody did a thing about it (and nobody is going to do a thing about it), the world just stood aside and watched. The UN barely wagged its finger at them.

Somewhat of a good point, but I don't think it applies here - some implementations, particularly inexpensive devices like SOC's, do exact search on common prefix lengths like /64 and /48. I can't imagine this would be a huge problem within a home network, though. Even then, DRAM, which is essentially software switching, is rarely used. Further, you said you had 6 VLANs - this is well within the route scale of the vast majority of network devices regardless of how they implement their lookup data structures.

Good example: The SRX300, a desktop router/firewall implemented on a MIPS based Cavium Octeon (both control and data plane) can handle up to 256K IPv6 routes:
https://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/10...

The Trident series SOC's can do 8K by default, and 64K with ALPM enabled:
https://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000480-e...

>(I mean, you only use /127's for point-to-point links that don't need link-rate switching anyway)?

/126's and /127's are often used for PTP's for peering/transit. Line rate is table stakes. Bear in mind that the gear used in these situations has plentiful lookup memory (SRAM, RLDRAM, HMC, or HBM).
The modern world works well for whom?

> Death to OpenVPN.

> ...nightmares to configure and manage.

This opinion seems a bit overdone. OpenVPN is one of the simplest and robust VPN protocols to setup and manage in my experience.

If you've had issues with OpenVPN, there are simpler options like Angristan's OpenVPN script [0] on GitHub to get you started.

I'm not arguing against WireGuard's use case as it's a nifty tool and viable option. While it's codebase is indeed smaller in size, denigrating a proven tool like OpenVPN or assuming that everyone is incapable of managing it because it's "complex" is both unnecessary and incorrect.

2. Use `wg` CLI to connect to that server and pass my MacBook traffic to that new server

3. Dispose the server when I'm done using Algo.

Really interesting.
Yeah I did a bunch of AWS stuff for a new project at the startup I'm at. I tried for five minutes to get ipv6 working across all my VPC stuff. Didn't work. Wouldn't provide immediate benefit. Moved on real quickly.
With Wireguard I believe you can go further and your servers can have only private IPs. And it's all seamless.
If you're going to run an amateur hotel, then try to do what the hotels do.
The strongest rejection of these that I've seen so far is that BT in the UK rolled out IPv6 to all of their residential customers over a year ago now, and have had it in some form for several years.

BT are huge, very slow moving, not very efficient, not considered "cool", not considered to be cutting edge in any way, and most of their residential customers have no idea what IPv6 is. Technically inclined customers who care about this sort of stuff, or early adopters are very unlikely to use BT.

If they can do it, anyone can.

Sure, there could be variations in prices based on the complexity of the question. In essense, it'd take Quora, Stack Overflow, AMAs, etc, and add a fee, plus near-instant responses.

One possibility based on the travel sector is to be a virtual tour guide, via WhatsApp, with live location sharing of the tourist. The person traveling posts questions in the form of words, pictures, videos and audio and the local person responds in real-time. Each inquiry costs very little (or is part of a package with a fixed number of inquires allowed), and the local can provide the service to many people in any given time frame.

An extension of the above: how about the traveler can ask how to say a certain phrase (or ask how to get out of a certain situation) and the guide sends an audio message in that language which the traveler can play for someone standing in front of them.

Or something totally different. A 5-second video/audio of my car making a strange noise, sent to the app's car community, and someone answers what it could be. Or you baked something and it came out looking odd and you can ask the cooking community, "what did I do wrong?"
