Subject: Wireguard and VRFs?
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2017 02:52:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170915005255.GA5107@principal.rfc2324.org> (raw)

Hi folks,

I just stumbled across wireguard and really like it!

While reading the docs and seeing the notes on network name spaces I
started wondering if there's any support for Linux VRFs? [0]

What I'd like to do is builing a VPN tunnel using VRF "external" and
terminate the tunnel within the main VRF. For OpenVPN this required a
patch [65] for the setsockopt() but then works fine. Is something like
this already possible with Wireguard?

And if not would you be open to adding it or merging a patch for it?
I didn't look through the code yet, but I would suggest an option for the
tun interface which will then trigger a setsockopt() call. Like a
parameter for iproute for type wireguard interfaces.

Thanks a lot!
Best
Max
