^Triage: assign to net@. Also, note that we have deprecated using [patch] and the 'patch' Keyword in favor of deriving that information from the Bugzilla metadata (e.g. from the Attachments themselves). I think this is something we should seek to eventually OBE with wireguard-tools... I have this gut feeling that we don't want to get into the business of storing peer aliases when nobody else does. Also, I don't think upstream would accept it in -tools given that this has been a problem for a while and they haven't implemented it, so we'd have to maintain it as a local patch to -tools. I agree that this has been requested a few times upstream in various forms (extended in the pubkey, as identifier, as alias, etc.) and upstream refuses to accept this. I also see the need for it myself and would like to have it but this is definitely an upstream topic and should be decided there. |
Created attachment 222065 [details] alias name When you have many peers, it becomes difficult to understand who is who. You can only write in notepad lines such as: "pub-key -> Alice" or via comment in wireguard config file. But FreeBSD doesn't have it either. So I added optional alias parameter to ifconfig. Example: # ifconfig wg0 peer public-key \ d+tsnnberdvggwffmugyod06dwjk8c6o542u/dbr+cc= endpoint 192.168.1.86:51820 allowed-ips 10.0.0.3/32 alias Bob # ifconfig wg0 peer public-key \ d+TSNnberdVGGWFfMuGYOD06dwjk8c6o541u/dBr+Cc= endpoint 192.168.1.86:51820 allowed-ips 10.0.0.4/32 alias Alice # ifconfig wg0 peer public-key \ d+TSNnberdVGGWFfMuGYOD06dwjk8c6o543u/dBr+Cc= endpoint 192.168.1.86:51820 allowed-ips 10.0.0.5/32 And peer list becomes more pretty to understand who is who: # ifconfig wg0 peer-list [Peer] PublicKey = d+TSNnberdVGGWFfMuGYOD06dwjk8c6o543u/dBr+Cc= Endpoint = 192.168.1.86:51820 AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.5/32 [Peer] Alias = Alice PublicKey = d+TSNnberdVGGWFfMuGYOD06dwjk8c6o541u/dBr+Cc= Endpoint = 192.168.1.86:51820 AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.4/32 [Peer] Alias = Bob PublicKey = d+tsnnberdvggwffmugyod06dwjk8c6o542u/dbr+cc= Endpoint = 192.168.1.86:51820 AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.3/32
