I really do love mesh networking projects like that. One of my favorites is Secure Scuttlebutt.
Mobile Linux really is quite good, I’m hoping more Linux-only phone hardware comes in the near future. Honestly, I am not convinced we even should have cellphones to begin with: relying on the proprietary cellular network which can so easily be monitored, hacked and used to abuse you and your privacy is a non-starter to me. Let’s just go back to the era of mp3 players and laptops.
What device you using it on? My Pixel 4a is not supported very well (yeah, I know I should contribute, but I really don’t have the time right now), and the PinePhone is well… the PinePhone.
5·2 months agoFrom what I can tell, the issue with Wireguard is that the traffic is quite obvious. Other options might be blocked, but technically harder to implement said blocks.
Yeah, WG is by far the best way to do this kind of networking.
That’s quite fascinating, didn’t realize Wireguard could be blocked in that way (although the WG traffic is pretty obvious looking, so it makes sense). The only solution I know of without a need for a VPS is hosting everything on Tor. Wildly private and secure, but also wildly slow. Beyond that, there are a number of ways of using a VPS to similar effect, I know people have used Cloudflare Tunnel to similar effect in the past.
Also, there are apparently quite a number of wiregaurd derivatives which protect better against detection and blocking methods. amnezia and wstunnel are the two that came up. Likewise, you will need a VPS, and might even be able to set up a tailscale-like coordination server that way (maybe with headscale, or maybe with one of its competitors like NetBird).
ZeroTier might also get the job done, but I really don’t know much about it.
Hope this helps, and good lucks!
In theory yes, in practice, I have no idea. My guess is you would need to soft-fork the project to get it using either project, or maybe be really, really nice to the devs and ask them to support additional protocols. Technically there is no reason it wouldn’t work, but whether or not there are enough people with your usecase for devs to justify implementing a new feature is another matter entirely.
