Does it work with other container technologies?
Very likely, as long as they have full iptables/nftables support.
Does it work with just 128 MB of RAM?
Yes but avoid CentOS if you don't have SWAP, because yum/dnf are memory hungry.
Does it work with NAT servers?
Yes.
Why are you using BoringTun instead of wireguard-go?
It is the best WireGuard user space implementation currently available. I have my "political" opinions and you can too, but at this time BoringTun is technically a great choice and I see no reason to avoid it.
Why aren't you signing the binaries?
Because Cloudflare is not going to, and when they make them available I'd like to use their official binaries instead of my own. They are a modern company with great engineers for new and shiny languages, but it seems like GPG is too old school for them. My initial idea was to provide full deb and rpm repositories for the community, but that ended up being an unattainable ammount of work if I wanted to do it properly.
Code quality could be better/cleaner
That's not a question, but I know. I wanted to get working OpenVZ support out and then polish the minor stuff. I have a limited amount of time available and the implementation is working correctly, so no need to wait.

I am genuinely curious about what challenges did you face that made you to reject the idea? Is it the hosting the repo or building the rpm (or both)?
Currently, I am interested to learn RPM ecology. If you think it will be worthy, I am happy to invest some of my time to (try) maintain atleast RPM of it.

Packaging a .deb or .rpm is very easy and Rust some some pretty nice third party tools for it, but there are lots of details to do it properly, I did read some of the Debian documentation as I'm mainly a Debian guy and estimated that I'd need about 100 hours to get comfortable enough with .deb + RPM packaging and hosting. Hosting the repos itself is also non-trivial, there are third party solutions but what I researched was either expensive, unreliable in the long term or lacked important features for me. I spend like a day researching and it was just too much work.
It was just not worth the effort in my opinion, I'm happy with the current implementation and it gives me freedom to support new distributions easily, instead of learning their packaging systems and maintaining multiple repositories up to date.
I appreciate your offer but at this time the current solution is looking good enough to me. If WireGuard keeps getting popular, I hope that mid-term the distributions will provide official packages for this.

Are we talking about packaging BoringTun for the RH ecosystem?
Yes, but there are no guarantees from the maintainer. In fact, the copr is already outdated. I want to maintain this script long-term so unofficial solutions most of the time will not work. I considered maintaining my own PPA + copr but decided against it.
@FlamingSpaceJunk said: Alternately, there is Open Build Service (OBS) which will build repos for lots of things.
I also considered Gemfury and Cloudmith, but ended up discarding them. The current approach is good enough, flexible for me and easy to maintain. When Cloudflare publishes their official binaries, I'll be able to use them directly. After all BoringTun is just that, a binary with no dependencies or anything.

Also there are two MrVM locations in Australia. I can buy a container there to see what's going on, but need to know which one is having issues.

I use CentOS 7.5 in AU while SG use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, maybe that'll help.
@kuroneko23 thanks for the information, it was very helpful.
If you do a uname -a you'll probably see that your VPS is using a 2.6 kernel (OpenVZ 6) which has reached its end of life and is unsupported while Singapore will probably show a 3.x kernel if you check. I'd guess that @mikho is going to upgrade the former in the near future.
There is additionally a problem with the TUN device, can you try running exec 8<>/dev/net/tun and let me know it produces any error?
Support for OpenVZ 6 is not going to be added as it reached its EOL and is a VERY old piece of software, I understand that being the end user you can't do much about it but sadly I can't give you better news.

You're right, it's still 2.6.32. That's too bad

@kuroneko23 please, provide me the exact output of the following command: uname -r. I guess I can just match anything starting with 2.6, but just to be sure.
That way I can add a compatibility test and alert the user that his system is not compatible.

It seems to capture DNS requests using iptables. Is that safer, so clients are forced to use it, than putting the internal nameserver address in the client config ?
@bibble said: This is a simple Wireguard + Unbound + Ad Block script that auto creates a config for a laptop and a phone.
It's abandoned and shouldn't be used.
@bibble said: It seems to capture DNS requests using iptables. Is that safer, so clients are forced to use it, than putting the internal nameserver address in the client config ?
No, those are just ACCEPT rules, they don't forward anything. Also they are useless in that context and not required in a normal system.
@bibble said: Will IPv6 be routed when using that simple script ?
True that both AU nodes are OVZ6.
I’ve run into some problems with how Virtualizor decided to change from serial console (like in OVZ6) to VNC on Virtuozzo OVZ7.
It has caused me to rethink the whole node deployment for OVZ7.
Currently trying to figure out the best way, moving forward.
@Nyr if you ever need a container to test with, let me know.
I have a soft spot for projects like these.
One thing that's not clear to me about Wireguard is that if one wants to use it in a Lowendspirit context, shouldn't one have redundancy and randomly select which VPN server to connect to using potentially different configs like port numbers, endpoint address, and private keys? How do you set it up on the client side to randomly select one VPN server to connect to to reroute traffic and reconnect to a random server if the current one is down?
The way the configuration is documented makes it sound like you route particular routing to one server, so there shouldn't be an overlap (though this isn't explicitly stated), so if you direct all web traffic to one server in the config file, and you could route particular subnets to different servers, but you would be connected to all at once. How do you get around that, or is there something I completely misunderstood?
Also, from a road warrior context, how have you found Wireguard VPN supported in travel context? Do you get blocked by the firewalls more when you're connected than when in OpenVPN mode where you at least get the TCP option as a fallback?
WireGuard does not support round robin connections, or rotating if one is down. You'd need to script that, or use OpenVPN.
WireGuard has the same permeability which OpenVPN has, if your network allows arbitrary traffic over an UDP port it'll work. If not, you'll need to route it over something else. Both WireGuard and OpenVPN can be easily identified if you network wants to.
Thank you NYR - I'll stick with openvpn, also because of the TCP fallback which sometimes seems to get allowed in places UDP is blocked (especially if using common ports). Obviously won't work against anyone who really means to block VPNs as opposed to just opening up wifi for web browsing type of applications.
Wireguard is really nice if you have a reliable PET vps that you can afford forever. I've been running it as my daily driver on a vultr vps in SGP since the script released.
The connection roaming is pretty seamless when switching between wifi and 4g. Voice chat in my android games are not disturbed.
Comments
I had never installed a VPN before, this installer helped me a lot. Thank you!
OpenVZ support is here!
FAQ:
Does it work with other container technologies?
Very likely, as long as they have full iptables/nftables support.
Does it work with just 128 MB of RAM?
Yes but avoid CentOS if you don't have SWAP, because yum/dnf are memory hungry.
Does it work with NAT servers?
Yes.
Why are you using BoringTun instead of wireguard-go?
It is the best WireGuard user space implementation currently available. I have my "political" opinions and you can too, but at this time BoringTun is technically a great choice and I see no reason to avoid it.
Why aren't you signing the binaries?
Because Cloudflare is not going to, and when they make them available I'd like to use their official binaries instead of my own. They are a modern company with great engineers for new and shiny languages, but it seems like GPG is too old school for them. My initial idea was to provide full deb and rpm repositories for the community, but that ended up being an unattainable ammount of work if I wanted to do it properly.
Code quality could be better/cleaner
That's not a question, but I know. I wanted to get working OpenVZ support out and then polish the minor stuff. I have a limited amount of time available and the implementation is working correctly, so no need to wait.

Good job @Nyr with adding OpenVZ support
Awesome. Thanks. I'll give it a try once the MrVM OpenVZ migration process is done.
I am genuinely curious about what challenges did you face that made you to reject the idea? Is it the hosting the repo or building the rpm (or both)?
Currently, I am interested to learn RPM ecology. If you think it will be worthy, I am happy to invest some of my time to (try) maintain atleast RPM of it.

Packaging a .deb or .rpm is very easy and Rust some some pretty nice third party tools for it, but there are lots of details to do it properly, I did read some of the Debian documentation as I'm mainly a Debian guy and estimated that I'd need about 100 hours to get comfortable enough with .deb + RPM packaging and hosting. Hosting the repos itself is also non-trivial, there are third party solutions but what I researched was either expensive, unreliable in the long term or lacked important features for me. I spend like a day researching and it was just too much work.
It was just not worth the effort in my opinion, I'm happy with the current implementation and it gives me freedom to support new distributions easily, instead of learning their packaging systems and maintaining multiple repositories up to date.
I appreciate your offer but at this time the current solution is looking good enough to me. If WireGuard keeps getting popular, I hope that mid-term the distributions will provide official packages for this.

There's a Copr repo for CentOS 7, 8 and Fedora 30, 31, 32 here -> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/atim/boringtun/
Alternately, there is Open Build Service (OBS) which will build repos for lots of things.

Yes, but there are no guarantees from the maintainer. In fact, the copr is already outdated. I want to maintain this script long-term so unofficial solutions most of the time will not work. I considered maintaining my own PPA + copr but decided against it.
I also considered Gemfury and Cloudmith, but ended up discarding them. The current approach is good enough, flexible for me and easy to maintain. When Cloudflare publishes their official binaries, I'll be able to use them directly. After all BoringTun is just that, a binary with no dependencies or anything.

Thanks for the openvz support!
It's working on my MrVM SG but not the AU one
boringtun-upgradecommand, what's the output?/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/boringtun.conf, add a line containingEnvironment=WG_LOG_LEVEL=debugand try runningsystemctl start [email protected].Also there are two MrVM locations in Australia. I can buy a container there to see what's going on, but need to know which one is having issues.

I don't know where to find the installation log but here all things that show up when I install it
boringtun 0.3.0 is up to date
Yes, I enabled it on Virtualizor
Done, don't know how to see the log
Both Perth and Sydney
@kuroneko23 thanks for the information.
Please provide the output of the following commands after a failed installaton and enabling the WG_LOG_LEVEL flag as previously explained:
systemctl status wg-iptables.servicesystemctl status [email protected]wg-quick up wg0Okay, I'll get one of them to avoid going back and forth with you if the next reply doesn't clarify the situation.

systemctl status wg-iptables.service
systemctl status [email protected]
wg-quick up wg0
I use CentOS 7.5 in AU while SG use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, maybe that'll help.
@kuroneko23 thanks for the information, it was very helpful.
If you do a
uname -ayou'll probably see that your VPS is using a 2.6 kernel (OpenVZ 6) which has reached its end of life and is unsupported while Singapore will probably show a 3.x kernel if you check. I'd guess that @mikho is going to upgrade the former in the near future.There is additionally a problem with the TUN device, can you try running
exec 8<>/dev/net/tunand let me know it produces any error?Support for OpenVZ 6 is not going to be added as it reached its EOL and is a VERY old piece of software, I understand that being the end user you can't do much about it but sadly I can't give you better news.

You're right, it's still 2.6.32. That's too bad
It returns nothing
I guess i'll stick to the OpenVPN for now ._.
@kuroneko23 please, provide me the exact output of the following command:
uname -r. I guess I can just match anything starting with 2.6, but just to be sure.That way I can add a compatibility test and alert the user that his system is not compatible.

2.6.32-042stab127.2Thank you for the script, made setting up a small personal VPN much easier
@Nyr - This is a simple Wireguard + Unbound + Ad Block script that auto creates a config for a laptop and a phone.
https://github.com/dolegi/wireguard_unbound_setup/blob/master/install-wg-unbound.sh
It seems to capture DNS requests using iptables. Is that safer, so clients are forced to use it, than putting the internal nameserver address in the client config ?
Will IPv6 be routed when using that simple script ?
Good job on the OpenVZ NAT update
It's abandoned and shouldn't be used.
No, those are just ACCEPT rules, they don't forward anything. Also they are useless in that context and not required in a normal system.
No.

@kuroneko23 @Nyr
True that both AU nodes are OVZ6.
I’ve run into some problems with how Virtualizor decided to change from serial console (like in OVZ6) to VNC on Virtuozzo OVZ7.
It has caused me to rethink the whole node deployment for OVZ7.
Currently trying to figure out the best way, moving forward.
@Nyr if you ever need a container to test with, let me know.
I have a soft spot for projects like these.

Appreciate it, but already got one OVZ from you to test the whole thing, because I don't use OVZ elsewhere.

One thing that's not clear to me about Wireguard is that if one wants to use it in a Lowendspirit context, shouldn't one have redundancy and randomly select which VPN server to connect to using potentially different configs like port numbers, endpoint address, and private keys? How do you set it up on the client side to randomly select one VPN server to connect to to reroute traffic and reconnect to a random server if the current one is down?
The way the configuration is documented makes it sound like you route particular routing to one server, so there shouldn't be an overlap (though this isn't explicitly stated), so if you direct all web traffic to one server in the config file, and you could route particular subnets to different servers, but you would be connected to all at once. How do you get around that, or is there something I completely misunderstood?
Also, from a road warrior context, how have you found Wireguard VPN supported in travel context? Do you get blocked by the firewalls more when you're connected than when in OpenVPN mode where you at least get the TCP option as a fallback?

Thank you NYR - I'll stick with openvpn, also because of the TCP fallback which sometimes seems to get allowed in places UDP is blocked (especially if using common ports). Obviously won't work against anyone who really means to block VPNs as opposed to just opening up wifi for web browsing type of applications.
Wireguard is really nice if you have a reliable PET vps that you can afford forever. I've been running it as my daily driver on a vultr vps in SGP since the script released.
The connection roaming is pretty seamless when switching between wifi and 4g. Voice chat in my android games are not disturbed.
Due to a bug in BoringTun, adding users after the first one would result in WireGuard breaking for those using the script in OpenVZ.
I have addressed that on my side with the latest commit. Affected users can download and use the latest version, no need to reinstall.
Non-container installations are not affected.

Sorry solved.(Not sure why i need to disable and enabled TUN/TAP few times to make it works)

@Nyr is this script usable in Xen VPS?
