Then instantly gives you a shell script that it pipes to `sudo bash`. The irony isn't lost here.

Also the suggested installation method of at least: rust, bun, uv, deno, and homebrew

Such a tired trope. If you want to do it the hard way, you are welcome to build by hand https://github.com/PDG-Global/rVPN-core#building

Not sure why you'd vibe-code a new VPN protocol, double ratchet or otherwise, when you can just take WireGuard and make a new transport for it.

WireGuard by itself is not a stealth VPN, but the things that make a VPN "stealthy" are all things you'd layer on top of a WireGuard design, not thread through the middle of it. A datagram-based protocol can run under any obscured transport.

We did this at Fly.io when we discovered that, for one reason or another, 5% of our users simply couldn't reliably use UDP. It was a one-day project to run it under WebSockets instead, and that was before coding agents.

drum55•1h ago
Wireguard is both really useful and pretty frustrating as a user. As a developer it's amazing that you can do things like relay packets through a bouncer with authentication to get around NAT without ever having to think about the protocol level safety, as a user it's near impossible to configure without the confused "why are no packets working", and as you had here it just doesn't make it through a lot of restrictive networking conditions. I'd love some middle ground between wireguard and tailscale in terms of complexity, their clients have way too much stuff in them.

The parent is obviously just Claude making a fancy website and some sort of unreviewed networking protocol that's dressed up to look as if it's a real project. Github really needs to start showing commit cadence and repo birthdates.

netbird's a thing to check out if you want an alternative to tailscale you can self-host.

drum55•1h ago
Netbird also, at least to me, has much too much stuff in it, perhaps even more. I would love to be able to connect to everything reliably no matter the network, the daemon doesn't need a reverse proxy, Ai agent routing and billing, in browser SSH client, it's all just attack surface. Tailscale allows you to compile a lot of it out as of a couple of weeks ago, but it's still an awful lot of code.

Why not Xray-core VLESS families? It sounds like your code is written by an LLM that is trained on Xray-core source code.

Hmm... It just ain't true.

Phew, good thing it verifies that, otherwise piping unverified output to a sudo shell could be dangerous!

I am all for exciting new VPN technologies but even the home page is vibecoded.

> Many flows. One connection shape

Shape, shape... shape.

I feel up until AI, nobody with their right mind would refer to the shape of a connection.

cowlevel•1h ago
That's how you know there's nothing exciting here. Just some ordinary technology rehyped by AI phrasing.

Yeah. Sounds like just wstunnel would be equivalent in many ways.

>stealth VPN with end-to-end encryption

Not sure what this means. AFAIK all VPNs have end-to-end encryption. Stealth ? will need to read to see what that means.

i was needing this very thing while trying to do work from the infusion clinic with a very aggressive outbound firewall.

Does anyone have a guide on getting wireguard + stunnel set up to evade DPS firewalls?

petu•30m ago
Throw in Iran/Farsi and you've probably covered >80% of the stealth VPN market/users. Normal protocols get blocked in those countries, so.
tamimio•37m ago
Netbird doesn’t have proper network isolation, due to its shared policy space compared to one gateway interface per customer/organization. Which is not an issue if you are the only user, but if you are building a service for customers to use, and there’s a potential scale up, it will be an issue, either having multi account mode which will results in many resources you need to deploy or containers per customer, or, having them all shared policy that could potentially allow customer to customer access if misconfiguration happens, alternatively, building a gateway in the middle to broker it all but traffic must pass through which is operational cost plus extra latency, and even privacy concerns.

Why TFA explains it, it's also in the title: "stealth". WireGuard is trivial to detect and block, and has no aspirations at being stealth.

Yeah, I just forwarded my wireguard connection through websockets with this and even though it's way slower it works just fine. Not even 1000 loc i think.

tptacek•40m ago
And even if you don't tunnel an existing WireGuard implementation (ideally, you would, to inherit the security track record of that implementation) you at least get the design right. Doing a brand new encrypted transport design for no good reason is a weird red flag for me.
aborsy•39m ago
If you wrap wireguard or build a layer on top of it, it's no longer wireguard that first listens to packets on public interface, it's your wrapper. The security properties of wireguard don't hold (potential for RCE before packets reach wireguard). That's a problem with projects like wstunnel or udp2raw.

You want wireguard to be the software that takes the packets first.

tptacek•7m ago
This isn't true. You don't lose the security properties of WireGuard just because you wrap it in some other transport. There is no particular virtue to it "taking the packets first".
