One of the most common use cases of WireGuard is to set up small mesh VPNs, either for your homelab, or for a small team of people who move between locations throughout the day (e.g., home -> coffee shop -> office, etc)

Problem is, vanilla WireGuard doesn't handle NAT traversal or roaming.

I wanted to fix that, with as little additional software as possible, and make it freely available to everyone, without requiring a subscription or an account.

The result is wireplug.org.

wireplug lets you create mesh VPNs using standard WireGuard. Your config files stay almost the same, except you no longer have to specify an `Endpoint` for your peers. Instead, wireplug detects all your possible endpoints (including LAN) and coordinates them with your peers for you. This lets you keep managing your own keys and network topology, while also maintaining connectivity when moving between networks.

Key Features:

  - Detects network changes and updates endpoints  automatically
  - Handles NAT traversal
  - Connects peers locally when on the same LAN
  - Uses kernel WireGuard when available
  - Keeps your keys under your control
  - Free to use, no account required
  - Open source, written in Rust
  - Tested on macOS, Linux, and OpenBSD

I’m working on a (free) service that lets you have it both ways. It’s a thin layer on top of vanilla WireGuard that handles NAT traversal and endpoint updates so you don’t need to expose any ports, while leaving you in full control of your own keys and network topology.

I created a simple service that automatically converts Substack newsletters and sends them to your Kindle.

————

A while ago, halfway through reading a long post on Substack, I realized it’d be easier on the eyes to read it on my kindle. As I was going about the process of converting it manually, it occurred to me that I’d already had the same experience with another post before, so I decided to write something to automate it.

After using it for a few days myself and finding it actually useful, I decided to turn it into a small product for others to use. A few weeks after putting it online, I unexpectedly got my first paying customer.

While the product is obviously super niche and the scale is minuscule, I still find it pretty cool and inspiring to experience firsthand this full circle (idea -> product -> someone I’ve never met finds it useful enough to pay for)

Well, OpenBSD has pledge(2) and unveil(2), both of which are very easy to use.
