I used udp2raw for WireGuard, since my cloud provider blocked UDP

wireguard over TCP. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

I used udp2raw for WireGuard, since my cloud provider blocked UDP launched on January 5, 2023 with 11 votes, #1,377 of 3,901 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

udp2raw converts UDP traffic into TCP, allowing WireGuard to function over TCP connections. This tool is useful for users whose internet service providers or cloud providers block UDP protocols. By tunneling UDP through TCP, it enables VPN connectivity in restrictive network environments where standard UDP-based VPN protocols would normally be unavailable.

From the sources

For Debian or Ubuntu, you can use a binary release from: https://github.com/wangyu-/udp2raw/releases Then, install it under /sbin directory. For example, on a x86_64 system: NOTE: this will not work with AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0 for example, as the udp2raw tunnel would break. a potential workaround is to use something like https://www.lautenbacher.io/en/lamp-en/wireguard-exclude-a-single-ip-address/ to generate a list which excludes your udp2raw server IP. another possibility is setting up an explicit route for the server IP as described in https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2022/02/wireguard-over-tcp/#point-to-internet @lexavey I had the same problem. WireGuard seems to be connected, but…from gist.github.com

  • TailGuard – Bridge your WireGuard router into Tailscale via a container2025 · github.com · ▲150

    My elderly parents are behind a 5G connection in rural areas, and I help them manage their network from overseas. I found a reasonably priced 5G router that can do external antennas required for it to work, but the only reasonable ways to get access to it is either through OpenVPN or WireGuard, the latter of which is much more lightweight and preferred with the memory constraints of the device. The problem with WireGuard is that it requires handling key management oneself, and configuring the keys to every device you want to access it from. It also doesn't play nicely together with other…

This solution is designed to empower users to swiftly set up and manage either a full or split-tunnel WireGuard VPN. It features ad-blocking capabilities through PiHole and enhanced DNS caching and privacy options via Unbound. The intuitive UI makes deployment and ongoing management straightforward, providing a comprehensive VPN solution with added privacy features.

  • WireHub – easily create and share WireGuard networks2023 · wirehub.org · ▲312

    WireHub is a side project I've been working on, on and off, for close to a year now. It's made with django and minimal javascript. It's a hosted WireGuard config generator/manager, that you can invite others to join your networks and manage their own configs/devices. It's still very much a beta, maybe an mvp, but I just wanted to get some early from the community. Thanks!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

  • Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU. My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were…
