David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)<p>Sigh. Search for information about configuring <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Wireguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wireguard</span></a> on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>. Second result on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DuckDuckGo</span></a> is a slop web site, which initially looks plausible but then runs a bunch of configuration commands that don't exist on FreeBSD. It does make up plausible output from the FreeBSD equivalents of those commands though!</p><p>I wonder how much of the productivity gains of using GenAI are simply slightly offsetting the productivity loses that come from everyone else using it.</p>

Running a webserver would be the same exact thing as I'm currently doing with tailscale.. I just need to setup a local <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> service first. The only thing is, I might need a second VM to not break existing setup</p>

House Panther :verified_paw:<p>I just have to say that I love <a href="https://goblackcat.social/tags/wireguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wireguard</span></a>. It’s quite possibly the very best protocol out there for site-to-site VPN tunneling. It’s a snap to configure and I’ve found it to be very fast, sometimes close to provisioned bandwidth.</p>
matuzalem<p>I wanted a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Wireguard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wireguard</span></a> GUI client for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> and there wasn't none so I put this QT6 thing together last night.</p>
Mika<p>I need to <i>properly</i> learn what <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Tailscale" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tailscale</a> is, cos I really have no idea why one would use it when <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Wireguard" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wireguard</a> exists - which to my understanding, is also what Tailscale uses/is based on. As far as I'm aware, unlike Wireguard, Tailscale isn't a complete <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/FOSS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a><span> package that you self-host and own, and it even requires an online account registration to use it.<br><br>I'm pretty sure people use it for free, but I'm not sure if it's not without any paid plans (now or in the future) seeing how you need to create an account with them. Seeing how easy and lightweight it is to deploy Wireguard yourself, and seeing how there's still some fiddling/deployment you need to do yourself on your own hardware to deploy Tailscale, I'm sure I'm missing something here that makes people recommend/use it.</span></p>
