About


A proof-of-concept for creating convenient VPN environments on top of secure WireGuard_ tunnels.

This runbook will guide you through the process of setting up an appropriate testbed environment. It will provision a number of Vagrant machines and configure them to talk to each other over a software-defined secure private network.

After that, you will easily be able to conduct connectivity tests and continue with further experiments.


Setup


This section will guide you through setting up a development/testing sandbox on your machine.

Acquire source repository::

git clone https://github.com/tunfish/tunfish-sandbox

Install requirements on Mac OS X using Homebrew::

./requirements-macosx.sh

Make Vagrant provision and spin up all machines configured in this environment::

vagrant up

Network layout


There are three machines "tf-portier", "tf-gateway-1" and "tf-client-1", completely provisioned by Vagrant.

Here is a short overview as an introduction. Please read this section carefully.

Machines

The Vagrant network "192.168.50.0/24". ::

192.168.50.1        The hypervisor host on its "vboxnet0" interface
192.168.50.70       Portier server
192.168.50.71       Gateway server 1
192.168.50.80       Client 1

Usage


Login to each virtual machine::

vagrant ssh tf-portier
vagrant ssh tf-gateway-1
vagrant ssh tf-client-1

Development


To repeat the virtual machine provisioning, run::

vagrant up --provision

To reprovision just a single host, use::

vagrant up --provision tf-portier

The source code directory ./src will be mounted into each virtual machine at /opt/tunfish-sandbox for convenient live editing.

Acknowledgements


Tunfish would not have been possible without these awesome people:

  • Jason Donenfeld for conceiving and building WireGuard_. After reading the introduction [RFC] WireGuard: next generation secure network tunnel_ in late 2016 and quickly scanning his paper about WireGuard_, nobody wondered that WireGuard rapidly gained attraction.

  • Mitchell Hashimoto, Chris Roberts and the countless other contributors to Vagrant_ for conceiving and maintaining Vagrant_.

  • Michael DeHaan, James Cammarata, Toshio Kuratomi, Brian Coca, Matt Clay, Dag Wieers and the countless other contributors to Ansible_ for conceiving and maintaining Ansible_.

  • Countless other authors of packages from the Python ecosystem and beyond for gluing everything together.

Thank you so much for providing such great infrastructure components and resources to the community! You know who you are.


Troubleshooting


If you encounter any problems during setup, we may humbly refer you to the <doc/troubleshooting.rst>_ documentation.
