Hey WireGuard developers,

I just wanted to know what the current status of the cross platform version o=
f wireguard is and would vote for a Rust implementation.

I am willing to support the development since I have network programming bac=
kground and know Rust.

Further it would be cool to add obfuscation support to the protocol to make i=
t Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) safe.=20

Best regards,
Sascha=

Hey Sascha,

correct me if I am wrong - I am wondering what DPI should do with a
crypto-stream and what "obfuscating" could improve at this point?

Best regards,

Hey n3ph,

The DPI could do a simple classification of the stream which could =
others use within network blocking scenarios. The content should be =
safe, but with obfuscation or maybe tor support it would be even =
=E2=80=9EWhisle blower safe=E2=80=9C.

Best regards,
Sascha

Hm, Tor is TCP-only, and WireGuard uses UDP.  These systems aren't going
to mix well.

WireGuard cannot and will not obscure the source or destination
addresses of the packets that flow over it.

Hey Sascha,

I would be very happy to work with you on the Rust implementation.
Find me on IRC (I'm zx2c4) and we can chat about it.

Regards,
Jason
