@lina we had a 1476 bytes MTU on the PPPoE interface. I would have expected a 1396 bytes MTU on the #WireGuard tunnel interface, but ping's with various sizes showed it had to be 1392 instead. Does that make sense, would the padding explain that?

@derbrumme
Ich habe aktuell einen urAlten OpenWRT mit LXC dafür im Einsatz der mir demnächst stirbt.

Kann man auf Fritzboxen auch zusätzliche Software wie eine PiHole installieren?

Würde es gerne ersetzen, möchte aber aus Platz und positionierungsgründen so wenig Hardware wie möglich nutzen.

Ich hätte daher gerne einen neuen Router, der #PiHole, #ntfy und #Wireguard auf einem Gerät vereinen kann.

@wendigo Double-check that the tunnel configuration including key pair, port numbers and IP address is correct and current. I think Proton makes you re-download those from time to time (quite possibly for key rotation if nothing else).

That the wg0 tunnel interface shows up is no guarantee that the tunnel itself is working. One of the less nice things about Wireguard; you get no obvious "thing X is wrong" error when bringing the tunnel up if something isn't up to snuff.

I forget who the Arch Linux expert out there is, but I can't get wireguard to resolve DNS at all. And my laptop has the exact same setup, and it works fine. I have tried everything I can think of or look up. If anybody out there can help me shed some light on this, I'm using a ProtonVPN config. Thanks! And a boost would be welcome if you're amenable... ;>)

If you have used and loved #Tailscale, and you still like the product but want a sensible insurance option to reduce your exposure to potential #enshittification, what *hosted* options have you looked at as alternatives?

Part of the appeal of #Tailscale for me at least was that they provided a really thoughtful UX layer over some existing cool OSS tech like #wireguard.

Also, many of us have tried self-hosting and want to minimise what they self host if at all possible.

MastodonJonathan Gerlach (@JonathanGerlach@mastodon.social)I've been really liking Tailscale, but they just took $160 million in funding and I have a weird feeling that the lenders will want to make that money back plus a profit.

I'm interested in setting up #WireGuard on my #Debian colo, as a #VPN solution for my phone when I'm on untrusted networks. But the quick start guide being a video is really putting me off, and the examples seem to be purely about ad-hoc peer-to-peer networking rather than a gateway.

I'm tempted to go back to my comfort zone with #OpenVPN, but I'll stick with it. At some point it'll click and I'll write a HOWTO.
