I used to particularly enjoy getting banned from subs for being mean - with a link to my comment being a reply to someone calling me an idiot and me telling them why they are wrong.

Hey there!

I have this project "Webmesh" that I've been working on for the last month. It is yet another solution providing a zero-configuration WireGuard mesh/VPN solution. Mostly similar to projects like NetZero or TailScale. More infoz is on the project website https://webmeshproj.github.io/.

The difference with this project is I am building it on top of a distributed architecture where state is maintained on each node via Raft consensus. Requests to mutate network state are automatically fielded to the leader node as necessary - and if that node goes away - the network can continue on without them.

Most recently I released a new feature that allows independent meshes to be bridged with each other. An example of what this looks like can be found here https://github.com/webmeshproj/webmesh/tree/main/examples/mesh-to-mesh. It got me realizing that this is becoming a sort of "federated networking" solution. And that immediately made me want to turn to a Fediverse related community to get some feedback.

Excited to hear what you think!

This page aims to cover that (at least for using mTLS) https://webmeshproj.github.io/documentation/using-mtls/ - but you are right - administration docs in general need a lot more love.

EDIT: I've added a link to that page in the part of the insecure "Getting Started" that says "this is insecure don't do it this way". Hopefully that helps people in the right direction a bit more - but I have a long road of more documentation ahead of me.

As always - any and all contributions are welcome :)

Hey all

I wanted to show off my new project, webmesh. It's yet another solution for creating WireGuard mesh networks/VPNs between multiple hosts.
It differs from others in that there is a controller-less architecture that maintains the network state on every node via Raft consensus. This allows for any node to become the "leader" should one go away.

More infoz in the README and on the project website: https://webmeshproj.github.io

Excited to hear any feedback :)

Except it is encrypted, and pretty secure. That's not really related to the issue. Facebook complied with a subpoena as they are legally required to do so. Signal would have to do the same. The only difference there is that Signal doesn't retain decryption keys for your data so subpoenaing them would be pretty pointless except to prove that some conversation happened.
