I'd definitely be interested in this. Back in 2015, that was the plan. Then it took a long time to get to where we are now, and since then wg(8) has really evolved into its own useful thing. The easiest thing would be to move wg(8) wholesale into iproute2 like you suggested; that'd allow people to continue using their infrastructure and whatnot they've used for a long time now. A more nuanced approach would be coming up with a _parallel_ iproute2 tool with mostly the same syntax as wg(8) but as a subcommand of ip(8). Originally the latter appealed to me, but at this point maybe the former is better after all. I suppose something to consider is that wg(8) is actually a cross-platform tool now, with a unified syntax across a whole bunch of operating systems. But it's also just boring C. _______________________________________________ WireGuard mailing list [email protected] https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard
