Support for *BSD?
Just curious if there is any support for OpenBSD, or any other bsd for that matter?
Good point!
I didn't checked if the underlaying tun libs supports it, if it does should be working. I'll have a look at that, thanks for bring this up!
@mudler I know for sure there is some support for tunnels, after all OpenBSD is famous for it's routing and firewall, but as for the specific library in question, I do not know. I can look it up on my system if you know offhand the names of the library files in question.
If it is any help whatsoever: The FAQ Networking page
and a good source for discovering what extra libraries are available is Open Ports
Seems someone patched the underlying lib used for tun/tap for FreeBSD: https://github.com/derrick658/water/commit/7dd4a78ba9451ac28603cdff8ed682d0ba69f311, so this sounds definitely doable.

Sweetness!
I'll give it a shot in the weekend, at least we can get something to build against and try out :)
@anoduck ok, this builds: https://github.com/mudler/edgevpn/commit/7adff5289db79213b6a2c96a1a29f47083f75015 however the netlink part which sets up the interface is not available for FreeBSD so I have tossed some commands which probably are wrong - but as I'm not a FreeBSD expert I'd appreciate some help if you can play with that part!
@mudler And, so it begins...
Got these two errors during build:
pkg/vpn/interface.go:27:56: unknown field 'Persist' in struct literal of type water.PlatformSpecificParams
pkg/vpn/interface.go:29:9: config.Name undefined (type water.Config has no field or method Name)
~~Of course, the use of persist leads to the failure of water.config. I attempted to swap out interface.go with interface_darwin.go, but then both createInterface and prepareInterface became undefined.~~
~~I am going to have to look more deeply into water's process of creating a new interface OpenBSD's means of network interface configuration is more eccentric than FreeBSD's. If I remember correctly, FreeBSD's interface configuration is almost Linux-ish. It has been a while since I installed a fresh FreeBSD system, and after programming for a few hours, my mental faculties are spent.~~
Looking on the bright side, at least we are not working on HURD's network stack. It was completely foreign from my experience.
apologize to get back at you late! I'll try to play with it in the weekend and see. I'm not a *BSD user, so will take a bit from my side, I'll check if at least we can get away from compiler errors
@mudler No worries, from everything I can gather you are a polite and very busy individual. There is no rush, things are crazy in my corner of the pond as well.
