In-reply-to » Hmm when I said "Wireguard is kind of cool" in this twt now I'm not so sure 😢 I can't get "stable tunnels" to freak'n stay up, survive reboots, survive random disconnections, etc. This is nuts 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net I find the L2 mode where you have one interface and multiple hosts to be tricky. Its best if you are trying to make a full mesh style. But then all hosts need to be able to see one another.

I have had more success using point-to-point connections where there are only two ends to each interface. It means you have a ton of interfaces and udp ports. but you can share the host IP across the interfaces. Add to that a simple router proto ala OSPF or RIP and you can navigate around not having a full meshnet.

I have dozens of localnet wireguard connections and many more connections to others that use bgp for route propagation.
