23.7.12 >> 24.1 RC1 Wireguard kernel mode netmap support

[GuruLee]

I'm being advised by Zenarmor to upgrade for the wireguard kernel mode netmap support, so I can effectively protect my wireguard interface.

Has anyone upgraded to 24.1 RC1 to test this and how stable is it?

I was waiting for this implementation too,

If I will have time over this weekend I will test it out.

I upgraded last night to 24.1 and no known issues so far. [emoji106]
I can now see Wireguard Internet egress traffic in Zenarmor, so I'm happy [emoji4] [emoji360][emoji482]

It's still being worked on so I'd label it "experimental" for now. Use it with a grain of salt.

Thanks GuruLee,

I was not unable to upgrade over the weekend.

@franco
By your definition of "experimental" you mean its experimental till all the bugs will not be catched out? If yes do you know about some potential issues? Just curious here.

It's still being worked on by Zenarmor/Klara for FreeBSD inclusion and there have been some reports of lockups in internal testing.

So therefore we should exercise caution if we're on the fence with purchasing Zenarmor subscription for wireguard support [emoji6][emoji848][emoji1696]

I also upgraded to 24.1_1 and so far my 2 different Wireguard tunnels are working smoothly without any problems. (2 instances, with 1 peer per instance, the peers being different servers on unrelated networks.)

So I did today the upgrade to Major 24.1,

The Very experimental netmap driver on WG works very well in my opinion at least on 1st look.
I can see all statistic, connections and all related to WG from prespective of ZENARMOR. Performance looks good as well. I will keep an eye on this if from long run perspective it will not do some goofiness.

Franco many thanks to you and your team to taking the time and implementing this.
