Re: WireGuard over WireGuard

["Justin Kilpatrick" <justin@althea.net>]

Althea uses WireGuard over WireGuard for mesh routing. Each device maintains a link to peers using WireGuard and then also maintains it's connection to the exit over a multihop WireGuard connection.

Building working WireGuard tunnels over fe80 ipv6 link local addresses was a real pain. Packets sometimes arrive only to the interfaced scoped address and other times arrive without an interface scope. Requiring two tunnels to successfully listen on one port.
