Hi Jason,

Because it is a demo of a brand new protocol, showing how it can be used =
with legacy versions payload and transport protocol. I find that odd, =
but as I understand we have contradicting point of views on IP =
protocols.

I am not using it at all. But it would be useful for howtos and blog =
posts to reference it. I don't use vintage IP in my posts, so I can't =
refer to the official demo server.

Since many potential peers are behind NATs using RFC1918 legacy IP =
addresses AND have global unicast IP addresses (which are easier to =
whitelist in a firewall than maintaining port forwarding in networks =
using a dynamic configuration protocol) I expect WireGuard to be =
especially useful using IPv6 as transport.

BTW, I don't see any reason why the demo server should forward to the =
Internet at all. Connectivity between peers/server and accessing the =
hidden website would be enough for my usecase (howtos/blog posts), which =
may be a different one than what you intended when you setup the server.=20=

Unfortunately :) I, for one, need to be convinced why I should create =
lasting documentation using an EOL IP protocol. Why does IPv4 matter =
more than IPv6? Usually, latency is better when using IPv6. Latency is =
probably the first thing demo users test (ping through the tunnel).

However, if you like to share some information how to set up one myself, =
I am happy to host a IPv6 demo server. Currently I am wondering how to =
accept *any* public key in the [Peer] config.

Cheers,

Dan
