alt Hacker NewsSpeaking of Wireguard, my current topology has all peers talking to a single peer that forwards traffic between peers (for hole punching / peers with dynamic ips).
But some peers are sometimes on the same LAN (eg phone is sometimes on same LAN as pc). Is there a way to avoid forwarding traffic through the server peer in this case?
Replies
Two separate WG profiles on the phone; one acting as a Proxy (which forwards everything), and one acting just as a regular VPN without forwarding.
Have your network managing software setup a default route with a lower metric than wireguard default route based on wifi SSID. Can be done easily with systemd-networkd, because you can match .network file configurations on SSID. You're probably out of luck with this approach on network-setup-challenged devices like so called smart phones.
I guess I'm looking for wireguard's version of STUN. And now that I know what to google for, finally found some promising leads.
