why not include embed vpn in proxmox? :)

[openaspace]

Hello,
why not include vpn support in proxmox for communications between server and remote management like the wireguard approach?

What Proxmox VE related usecase do you have in mind?

Wireguard is currently being integrated in the Linux Kernel and will be available with the upcomming Linux 5.6 release.

Until such a kernel becomes available in Proxmox VE you can already use it via a dkms build, e.g. from the testing repository "wireguard-dkms". We watch that project since it's inception.

Cluster of containers on different datacenters running low latency streaming video

So, you have no secure link between the datacenters? Is your default streaming unencrypted?

hello

this can be done only if you have all machines in the same company

So, you don't have software defined network storage that would allow that? We (or our customers) have a lot of machines hosted and housed in different datacenters, and the infrastructure-provider only allows access via VPN, which they configure and manage. I've never seen an unencrypted link between different system, even if they are not the same company.

I'm not understanding what you're referring to. Openvpn and wireguard are completely different things.
Openvpn require a lot of configuration job. Wireguards is fast. And for same company.. i'm referring to the virtual vSwitch technology that any datacenter offer that is a fast standard network approach...
