PreUp/PreDown PostUp/PostDown

romkazor commented 1 year ago

Hello, how about this useful features?

zaneschepke commented 1 year ago

Hi, can you explain this feature more?

romkazor commented 1 year ago

PreUp

Optionally run a command before the interface is brought up. This option can be specified multiple times, with commands executed in the order they appear in the file.

Examples

Add an IP route PreUp = ip rule add ipproto tcp dport 22 table 1234

More examples: https://github.com/pirate/wireguard-docs

Gotcha. So it seems these are additional configuration options you can add to the interface block in your VPN config file. It looks like these are only supported in the CLI and not the wireguard-android library (which this app uses). This is still a feature that could be added from scratch to this app but I would need more direction on the most valuable use case(s). What is your specific use case?

romkazor commented 1 year ago

Use case:

Before connecting, we send several random packets to the WG-server to confuse the ISP mechanisms like DPI and other
Connecting to WG-server

Just now this case looks like this:

launching termux
run nping --udp --count 3 --data-length 15 --source-port 6666 --dest-port 6666 1.1.1.1
waiting
launching wg-client

Gotcha! So for this use case, because we are within the context of an Android app, we wouldn't be able to run these command line tool commands within our app itself. We could accomplish this by sending and intent to Termux. We would then wait before starting our tunnel connection. Although I can see this being useful, I feel like this is may be something better suited for an app like Tasker or Automate. I've recently added dynamic shortcuts to the app for each added tunnel. I did this specifically for automation integration purposes. We could add this functionality into the app itself if the benefit is there. I do think something like webhook integration could also be an interesting additional use case (although I'm not sure if people would find it beneficial). What are your thoughts?

zaneschepke commented 1 year ago

@romkazor I do still think this would be a cool feature. It would be a decent amount of work to get it working but I do see the benefits. Is there anything you are confused about that I can explain in more detail?

Can these dynamic shortcuts be used in macrodroid? Macrodroid can't see them. Are there any intents we can send to enable the tunnels? Is this documented anywhere?

So I've looked into this and I think I would consider this a bug even though I think it is technically not a bug. This should be possible, but I think because we are using dynamic shortcuts instead of static shortcuts these apps can't seem to find the WG Tunnel shortcuts. If this is the case, I may want to switch to static shortcuts instead of dynamic ones. I will do some testing on this.

I've made a separate issue for this bug #38

Thank you!

zaneschepke commented 11 months ago

@rpgdev I ended up having to remove dynamic shortcuts and opt for static shortcuts as they seem to integrate much better with automation software. You can now use the static shortcuts to toggle your primary tunnel in release 3.1.0. This can be accomplished with a combination of Macrodroid and Shortcuts Maker.

rpgdev commented 11 months ago

@zaneschepke I just updated and installed shortcuts maker but it isn't clear how to use shortcuts maker to make a shortcut to the tunnel in wg tunnel. Is this documented anywhere?

I saw a video somewhere on how to do it. Mscrodroid > Actions > Launch shortcut > Select shortcut (this is what links to shortcut maker and you will recognize app icon) > (it has now redirected to shortcut maker) Inner Link > and now you can see the shortcuts for WG Tunnel here.

@romkazor I have been doing more research on this one. I do think this could potentially be doable in the future, but I would only want to support it on rooted devices.

This would require #43 to be implemented first.

Hi, is there any progress on implementing PostUp/PostDown?

That's the only reason I need to move away from the official app. I hoped to find it here, but unfortunately, this app does not support this either. The reason I would need PostUp/PostDown on my rooted Android is to set up a custom route to a LAN of another peer connected to the same WireGuard network, without touching the server configuration. It works by manually typing these commands in a terminal, but it would be much more convenient to have it done automatically by the app itself.

rpgdev commented 1 month ago

@Den41k92 if you're rooted is there any reason why tasker wouldn't work for this? I have since moved to tasker, mainly because of the wg support, it's very good now. You definitely could do post tasks after connecting or disconnecting from a wg network, all automatically.

Unfortunately Tasker is not FOSS but I will look for an alternative. Thank you.
