Go Implementation of WireGuard over VSOCK

This is an implementation of WireGuard in Go with support to vsock.

Quick Start

At the Enclave

A new interface is added with:

wireguard-go-vsock wg0

An IP address and peer can be assigned with ifconfig(8) or ip-address(8):

ip address add dev wg0 203.0.113.2 peer 203.0.113.1

The interface can be configured with keys and peer endpoints with the wg(8) utility:

wg set wg0 \
  private-key /path/to/enclave-privkey \
  listen-port 51820 \
  peer xMjphMUyLIGExyJluSslD9tjaIcF9QS6ADyI8DOTzyg= \
  allowed-ips 0.0.0.0/0 \
  endpoint 0.0.0.2:8172

Notice that the above setting indicates that the peer endpoint is actually host(2) (context ID = 2). The wg command requires passing VSOCK CID as IPv4.

Finally, the interface can then be activated with ifconfig(8) or ip-link(8):

ip link set up dev wg0

At the Host

A new interface is added with:

wireguard-go-vsock wg0

An IP address and peer can be assigned with ifconfig(8) or ip-address(8):

ip address add dev wg0 203.0.113.1 peer 203.0.113.2

The interface can be configured with keys and peer endpoints with the wg(8) utility:

wg set wg0 \
  private-key /path/to/host-privkey \
  listen-port 8172 \
  peer +SjU9sG4bBLyViwQsHxVXFxX/QD1npDI2NiHZyccv3w= \
  allowed-ips 0.0.0.0/0 \
  endpoint 0.0.0.6:51820

Notice that the above setting indicates that the peer endpoint is actually vm(6) (context ID = 6). The wg command requires passing VSOCK CID as IPv4.

Activate the interface with ifconfig(8) or ip-link(8):

ip link set up dev wg0

After setting both ends, at the host try to execute simple network commands such as:

ping 203.0.113.2

Usage

Run:

wireguard-go-vsock wg0

This will create an interface and fork into the background. An ephemerous VSOCK port (VMADDR_PORT_ANY) will be bound to any VSOCK CID (VMADDR_CID_ANY).

To remove the interface, use the usual ip link del wg0, or if your system does not support removing interfaces directly, you may instead remove the control socket via rm -f /var/run/wireguard/wg0.sock, which will result in wireguard-go shutting down.

To run wireguard-go-vsock without forking to the background, pass -f or --foreground:

wireguard-go-vsock -f wg0

When an interface is running, you may use wg(8) to configure it, as well as the usual ip(8) and ifconfig(8) commands.

To run with more logging you may set the environment variable LOG_LEVEL=debug.

Note that this implementation accepts addresses in the following format when wireguard UAP is used directly (wg command doesn't accept it!):

vsock-address := vsock-address-cid ":" port
vsock-address-cid := hypervisor-address | local-address | host-address | vm-address
hypervisor-address := "hypervisor(0)"
local-address := "local(1)"
host-address := "host(2)"
vm-address := "vm(" vm-contextID ")"
vm-contextID := UINT32 ≥ 3
port := UINT32

Note that due to underlying limitations at the base wireguard-go, the port should not be set as 32-bits, but 16-bits instead (as in Internet addresses).

TCP support

In order to test out of AWS Nitro Enclaves, wireguard-go-vsock also supports the tcp, tcp4 and tcp6 network families (as int the net Go package). Just pass -n/--network parameter in the command line, like:

wireguard-go-vsock -n tcp wg0

The above will initialize WireGuard under the network type tcp.

Platforms

Linux

In order to support VSOCK, this will run on Linux with support to AF_VSOCK only. It is possible to use AF_STREAM by using the -n/--network flag, for experimental purposes.

Other OSes

There is no support to VSOCK yet. It is possible to use AF_STREAM by using the -n/--network flag, for experimental purposes as in Linux.

Building

This requires an installation of go ≥ 1.19.

$ git clone https://github.com/seedcx/wireguard-go-vsock
$ cd wireguard-go-vsock
$ make
